Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Match Points Over 213.5 – 1.77.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Pelicans Points Over 104.5 – 1.95.
It’s hard for the Phoenix Suns to perform without Booker. Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton are too unstable. You never know what to expect from this tandem. With that in mind, we doubt the upcoming meeting will be easy for the Suns.
In the last three games between these teams, the total of points was over 212.5 points. After all, the New Orleans Pelicans are considered a very efficient team.
The Pelicans have scored more than 104.5 points in their last three games.
It’s time to #RallyTheValley together.

Devin Booker’s absence affected the Suns’ play. The Phoenix Suns won their first game without their leader. Thanks to the efforts of Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton, they defeated the New Orleans Pelicans (114-101). However, the Suns didn’t have enough time to recover. In the next game, the Arizona team lost (103-118).
As we predicted, the Paul-Ayton tandem failed to produce their best performance in the last game.
In the fourth game of the series, Deandre Ayton scored 23 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist.
