The New Orleans Pelicans will welcome the Phoenix Suns to the Smoothie King Center in an NBA clash. The Pelicans are in 14th place in the Western Conference standings, while the Suns are seventh. Here's our match prediction.
The New Orleans Pelicans are the second-worst team in the West. After 31 games, they've recorded eight wins and 23 losses. Their away form has been the root of their struggles this season, with two wins in their last 13 games (L11).
In their recent match, they suffered a 141-118 away defeat against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Zion Williamson led the team with 26 points.
Before that setback, the Pelicans were on a five-match winning streak. They return to their humble abode, where they've been outstanding. At the Smoothie King Center, they've won four straight games.
The Phoenix Suns have started to find their rhythm after suffering back-to-back defeats against the Thunder and the Lakers. Coming into this match, they've won two of their last three games.
Their most recent triumph came against the Lakers. They secured a commanding 132-108 home victory. Dillon Brooks was the standout player, leading the team with a game-high 25 points.
The Suns are hoping that the result is enough motivation for them to put an end to their inconsistent form on the road. In unfamiliar territory, they've lost two consecutive matches and have won just one of their last three.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
Admittedly, the New Orleans Pelicans have been the in-form side compared to the Phoenix Suns. The hosts have won five of their last six matches and are riding a four-match winning streak at home. Given that impressive display, they could turn out to be a competitive team.
The Phoenix Suns have been inconsistent. However, bookmakers expect them to secure a win here. The recent meeting between the two sides ended in their favor, but for a side that has lost two consecutive away matches, we anticipate the Pelicans to cover here. Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Phoenix Suns prediction: New Orleans Pelicans +4.5.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
