These teams have split the first two matchups of the season. In the Blazers' home victory, it was CJ McCollum who steered them to victory with a game-high 28 points. However, Portland will be without their shooting guard Tuesday night as he remains sidelined with a collapsed right lung.

The Blazers started the season with a bang at Moda Center with a 10-1 home record, however, since then they've dropped their past four in their own building. Meanwhile, the Suns hold the best road record in the league at 9-1, with their only loss away from home, coming at the hands of the Golden State Warriors.
Will the Suns continue their road run or can the Blazers bounce back?
