Farmer’s Prediction: Delusional confidence serves to Phoenix’s advantage.<\/p>\n

Adam Silver has gotten two things right in his tenure as NBA commissioner. He pointed out Donald Sterling was a racist, and he created the Play-In Tournament.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s six games are an absolute joy, though if you ask Portland Trail Blazers fans or Phoenix Suns fans on Tuesday, they may say this is pure agony.<\/p>\n

My Trail Blazers vs. Suns predictions and NBA picks<\/a> bet on one of the NBA\u2019s most irrationally confident players on Tuesday, April 14.<\/p>\n

Trail Blazers vs Suns prediction
\nTrail Blazers vs Suns best bet: Dillon Brooks Over 19.5 points (+102)<\/p>\n

Kevin Durant was right. His worst year is better than Dillon Brooks<\/a>\u2019s best year, but that does not mean the Phoenix Suns<\/a>\u2019 biggest acquisition for trading away Durant is going to shy away from this moment. Frankly, Dillon Brooks\u2019s delusional confidence is his most redeeming trait, though also and obviously his most infuriating one.<\/p>\n

The Portland Trail Blazers<\/a> should devote Jrue Holiday to slowing Devin Booker<\/a> as much as possible. That will move the ball into Brooks\u2019s hands more often.<\/p>\n

Phoenix needs either Brooks or Jalen Green<\/a> to complement Booker to pull off this upset and avoid the Oklahoma City Thunder. Portland is more likely to let Brooks get an advantage than Green.<\/p>\n

That is to effectively say, betting on Phoenix\u2019s third option is both the best bet and the Suns\u2019 best approach to winning this game.<\/p>\n

In a few respects, the greatest concern with Brooks may be foul trouble. And if Phoenix advances, Brooks\u2019s worst habit will undoubtedly rear its ugly head, but that usually comes once well into a series, as tensions run highest. A one-game format lessens that concern.<\/p>\n

Devin Booker is too pure a scorer not to pour in some buckets in a game of this import, hence Portland presumably needing to devote Jrue Holiday to the Suns\u2019 franchise cornerstone. And that is part of why Brooks should score, though partly at Green\u2019s expense. In a very real way, every leg of this one-sided same-game parlay is correlated.<\/p>\n

Trail Blazers vs Suns SGP<\/p>\n

Dillon Brooks Over 19.5 points
\nJalen Green Under 18.5 points
\nDevin Booker Over 26.5 points<\/p>\n

Our “from downtown” SGP: Suns don’t set<\/p>\n

To put this simply, if the Suns\u2019 point distribution breaks down like this, then Phoenix is in a great position to win this Play-In game with ease. Adding the -4 to this same-game parlay should not raise it 73%.<\/p>\n

This is what makes the Suns just dangerous enough. They may be devoid of stars aside from Booker, a year after having too many stars to function, but Phoenix still has an array of backcourt scoring to worry just about anybody in the NBA, particularly for one game.<\/p>\n
