The Phoenix Suns are exceeding expectations without Devin Booker, a credit to this retooled roster compared to last year’s superstar-heavy team. Against the Portland Trail Blazers, that roster should prevail.
My Suns vs. Trail Blazers predictions expect Phoenix’s new second banana to continue to shine in the spotlight, amid many NBA picks on Tuesday, February 3.
Suns vs Trail Blazers prediction
Suns vs Trail Blazers best bet: Dillon Brooks Over 23.5 points (-105)
Dillon Brooks has averaged 18.8 shots per game in the last five games, all without Devin Booker. That is a significant uptick from the 16.7 he has averaged when the Phoenix Suns’ cornerstone has been in the lineup this season.
No wonder Brooks has cleared this prop in four of those five games, the exception falling short by only one bucket.
Until Booker is back in the lineup, bet on Dillon Brooks to score 25 points a night, including tonight against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Douglas Farmer spends his days thinking about college football and his nights thinking about the NBA. His betting habits and coverage follow that same pattern. He covered Notre Dame football for various outlets from 2008 to 2024, most notably spending eight seasons as NBC Sports’ beat writer on the Irish. That was also when his gambling focus took off. Knowing there were veteran beat writers with three decades more experience than he had, Douglas found his niche by best recognizing Notre Dame’s standing in each year’s national landscape, a complex tapestry most easily understood and remembered via betting odds.
In 2021, that interest created a freelance opportunity with Covers, a role that eventually led to Douglas joining the company full-time in 2023. In the fall, Douglas will place five or six dozen bets each week, a disproportionate amount via BetRivers because the operator tends to have lines slightly different than the rest of the market. The same can be said of Circa Sports’ futures markets.
While Douglas is an avid NBA fan and covers the league throughout the year, the vast majority of his bets are on college football, because that is the biggest key to sports betting: Know what you do not know.
