The Phoenix Suns will look to return to winning ways when they host the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA this evening. The Suns are seventh in the standings at 35–27 on the season, while the Pelicans are 13th at 20–44. Here is our prediction.
After rounding up their four-game homestand with a narrow three-point victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, the Phoenix Suns continued on winning ways, defeating the Sacramento Kings by 11 points on Tuesday.
They, however, fell short of three consecutive victories after a narrow and shocking 105–103 defeat to the Chicago Bulls yesterday evening. Jordan Ott's side will look to bounce back in this contest and strengthen their push for a top-six finish.
The New Orleans Pelicans' 35% three-pointers proved decisive as they rallied from four points down to defeat the Sacramento Kings 133–123 yesterday evening. That victory saw them recover from back-to-back losses in their previous games.
However, the Louisiana franchise will face a difficult task building on that victory this evening. They are 12 games below .500 and a significant 16-game gap separates them from the Phoenix Suns. Their last four games against the Suns ended with defeats.
