Phoenix beat the Blazers in the first two meetings before a low-scoring 92-77 Portland victory on February 22.

Can Phoenix win NBA Play-In Debut?

This will be the Suns’ first time participating in the NBA Play-In Tournament. They avoided it in the first few years, but didn’t qualify last season.

The Trail Blazers don’t have a ton of Play-In experience either, taking down Memphis as the No. 8 seed to clinch their spot in the postseason back in 2020.

History is on Phoenix's side here as the No. 7 seed is 8-2 in the Play-In Game and 2-0 in the No. 8 seed game. Meanwhile, the No. 8 seed has advanced just four times to the No. 7’s perfect 10-for-10 record.
