The Phoenix Suns’ 2026 postseason journey begins with the Play-In Tournament, and they’ll host the Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference’s 7-8 game. Phoenix won two of three regular-season meetings with Portland, but neither team was at full strength in any of the meetings, meaning it will be hard to draw much from them.

The Trail Blazers enter the postseason as one of the NBA’s hottest teams, making it a tall task for Devin Booker and the Suns. On the eve of the big-time matchup, PHNX Suns takes a look at what the Suns need to do in order to get the best of a talented Blazers team.

Beyond previewing Tuesday’s game, the group takes a look at strengths, weaknesses and the profiles of each team. How can Phoenix get the win to advance to the NBA Playoffs? Follow the show: @PHNX_Suns, @ErikRuby, @GilMcGregor_, @Espo and @StephenPG3!

The Phoenix Suns closed the season on a high note, dominating the Oklahoma City Thunder, 135-103. Phoenix closes the season with 45 wins but, more importantly, can officially shift its focus forward to its Play-In Tournament date with the Portland Trail Blazers.

In Sunday’s win, Jamaree Bouyea scored a game-high 27 points, Ryan Dunn (20 points and 11 rebounds) and Khaman Maluach (18 points and 14 rebounds) turned in double-doubles and fans got a glimpse at the franchise’s future. With eight players sitting out, the focus now shifts to the immediate future and a crucial Play-In Tournament matchup in Tuesday’s 7-8 game.

PHNX Suns postgame will get into the game that was and the season that was before looking ahead to the postseason. Follow the show: @PHNX_Suns, @ErikRuby, @GilMcGregor_, @StephenPG3 and @Espo!

A game was played in Los Angeles Friday night, and the Phoenix Suns came up on the short end of things against the Lakers. Phoenix was shorthanded as it was without Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Jordan Goodwin and Haywood Highmsith. Grayson Allen was later ruled out for the entirety of the second half after sustaining a hamstring injury in the first half.

With the seventh seed locked in, the Suns did not have much of anything to play for Friday, while the Lakers are still jostling for positioning in the West standings. For the Suns, the bigger focus was next week’s opponent in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament, which is yet to be decided. In Portland, the Trail Blazers defeated the Clippers, which could be a hint at who Phoenix will face Tuesday.

PHNX Suns postgame briefly touches on tonight’s contest before spinning things forward to the potential Play-In matchup. Follow the show: @PHNX_Suns, @ErikRuby, @GilMcGregor_, @Espo and @StephenPG3!

The Phoenix Suns will look to get back on track in their home finale as they host Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday night. It’s the second end of a back to back for Phoenix, which blew a 21-point lead to the visiting Houston Rockets on Tuesday.

In addition to it being the 41st and final home game of the regular season, it is Game 80 for the Suns, who enter the night with a 43-36 record on the season. Phoenix can no longer move out of the Play-In Tournament range, but it still has work to do to clinch the Western Conference’s seventh seed to ensure that it will play on its home floor during the Play-In Tournament.

With tonight’s game being the second end of a back-to-back, head coach Jordan Ott suggested that the Suns may not have their full complement of players. In that case, it will be on Devin Booker to lead his group past the presumptive Rookie of the Year in Flagg, who has been playing some of his best basketball as of late. PHNX Suns pregame is here to walk you through what Phoenix needs to do to get its desired result. Follow the show: @PHNX_Suns, @GilMcGregor_, @ErikRuby, @Espo and @StephenPG3!

The Phoenix Suns did not do much to inspire confidence Tuesday, blowing a 21-point first quarter lead in a 119-105 loss to the Houston Rockets. Things unraveled for the Suns, who were outscored, 98-68, from the second through fourth quarters.

Phoenix’s efforts were led by 31 points from Devin Booker, but it was far from enough as Houston chipped away at the deficit it faced. The Rockets dominated the glass and had a balanced attack led by 24 points from Kevin Durant.

With the loss, the Suns fall to 43-36 on the season and are officially locked into the Play-In Tournament, but they have yet to secure the seventh seed. PHNX Suns postgame is back to break down what this latest loss means and where the team goes from here. Follow the show: @PHNX_Suns, @GilMcGregor_, @Espo, @StephenPG3 and @ErikRuby!

The Phoenix Suns are likely staying in the 7th seed as the NBA Play-In tournament approaches, meaning they could face off against the Portland Trail Blazers and All-Star Deni Avdija in the first game.

PHNX Suns taps in with Danny Marang to discuss the matchup between the two teams, and why Devin Booker, Dillon Brooks, Jalen Green and Jordan Ott's squad are "nightmare fuel" for a team in flux in the Pacific Northwest.

Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

With four games remaining in the 2025-26 regular season, the Phoenix Suns are jostling to settle into a playoff position. Underlying storylines for the final week are Dillon Brooks’ technical fouls and Devin Booker’s candidacy for All-NBA honors.

Brooks is one technical foul away from another automatic one-game suspension and Booker may have missed too much time to earn consideration for a league award. With those league-wide mandates at the background, the Suns’ pursuit of an advantageous playoff spot remains at the forefront.

While it may be a long shot, the Suns are still not out of the running to move out of the Play-In Tournament and into a top-six spot in the West. PHNX Suns talks through the best-case scenarios for the Suns’ postseason push and what to expect. Follow the show: @PHNX_Suns, @ErikRuby, @GilMcGregor_, @Espo and @StephenPG3!
