Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Full-Time Result – Handicap (-4.5) for Suns – 1.91.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Match Points Over 226.5 – 1.63.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Suns’ Points Over 116.5 – 1.80.
The New Orleans Pelicans are unlikely to be able to stop the Phoenix Suns. Without Ingram and McCollum, that would be problematic. Jonas Valanciunas alone probably won’t be enough. Therefore, we suggest giving preference to visitors from Arizona.
The New Orleans Pelicans have scored more than 120 points in most of their last home games. It’s unlikely that the Pelicans will change the tactics.
The Suns have scored more than 115.5 points in 3 of their last 4 games.
The New Orleans Pelicans continue to play without Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum. The absence of these players is affecting the Pelicans’ play. As a result, the Louisiana team has lost four of their last five games. Despite this, the team continues to sit in tenth place in the West.
It should be noted that in the last game the New Orleans Pelicans managed to stop their losing streak. Against the Houston Rockets, Jonas Valanciunas came alive. The Pelicans defeated the Rockets by a score of 130-105.
