Trail Blazers vs. Suns preview

The Blazers need to do what they can to get the last game out of their minds. It was not the right way to come out for the all-star break, and a fresh start is needed.

They will get that chance against the Suns, who are coming off of a double overtime victory over the Orlando Magic just over 24 hours ago. During that game, the Suns lost Dillon Brooks and Jordan Goodwin to injuries. In the game before that, Devin Booker suffered a hip injury.

It's a short-handed Suns squad without much rest against a well-rested Blazers team that is hungry for a win. This is an opportunity to put the past behind them and move forward with the rest of the season in front of them. A loss against the Suns would cause even more of a spiral, so the Blazers have to take care of business.
