Rather than returning home after Thursday night's loss to the Nuggets in Denver, the Portland Trail Blazers headed south to spend three days in the desert. So after two days of practices and a little bit of warm weather, the Trail Blazers return to the court Monday for their first game this season versus the Suns in Phoenix. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m.
