The Phoenix Suns will meet the Portland Trail Blazers tonight in an NBA game Free live streaming online from the Moda Center at 10:00 PM ET

The Suns continue to scrap for one of the Western Conference's final spots, but they must navigate a challenging final set of games.

Portland looks for a fifth straight win Friday night when it hosts Phoenix.

The Trail Blazers' chances at a top-four seed appeared to be slim during a 4-9 stretch March 3-25. However, they've won four straight since LaMarcus Aldridge returned from a seven-game absence due to a back injury and are a game behind Houston for fourth place.

Portland (49-27) has averaged 105.0 points over its last four with Aldridge back in the lineup after scoring 90.0 per game in three consecutive defeats. The Trail Blazers, who haven't had home court in a postseason series since 2009, are also averaging a plus-3.0 rebounding margin since Aldridge has returned after a minus-3.4 margin when he was out.

Portland, which has won eight of nine at home against Phoenix, will play five of its final six games on its own floor, where it owns its second-best winning percentage over the last 14 seasons.

The Suns (44-31), who are battling with Memphis and Dallas for the conference's final two playoff berths, play five of their final seven against teams in position for or competing for a playoff appearance, including meetings with the Grizzlies and Mavericks.

Phoenix reeled off a six-game win streak -- its longest in four years -- but has since dropped back-to-back contests to the Lakers and Clippers. The Suns led the Clippers by 17 with 1:49 remaining in the third quarter Wednesday but lost 112-108, squandering an opportunity to claim sole possession of seventh place.

The Suns, whose 9.5 made 3-pointers per game are tied with the Trail Blazers for the league lead, are 16 of 64 from 3-point range in their last two games after going 71 for 162 (43.8 percent) during the win streak.

Phoenix won two of the first three meetings this season, both at home. Dragic averaged 28.5 points and shot 56.4 percent in those victories.
