How to watch Blazers-Suns in NBA Play-In Tournament for free

The NBA Play-In Tournament continues tonight with the first Western Conference matchup, which will determine the No. 7 seed.

The Portland Trail Blazers (42-40) are hoping to end a five-year playoff drought with a win tonight against the Phoenix Suns (45-37). The last time the Trail Blazers appeared in the playoffs was 2021, while the team’s last playoff series win came in 2019.

Phoenix won two of three games against Portland in the regular season, but Portland won the most recent matchup on February 22.

Both teams in tonight’s Play-In game will have a chance to continue on in the playoffs; the winner will advance directly into the playoff bracket as the Western Conference’s No. 7 seed (to face the Spurs in the first round), while the loser will face off with either the Clippers or Warriors on Friday to determine the No. 8 seed.
