The Suns, without star Kevin Durant on the court, will face what the bookies predict will be a close game against the last-place team in the Western Conference, the Pelicans, with a 4-18 record that also has the worst streak in the NBA, having lost their last 9 games. The Pelicans are barely able to surpass 100 points per game with 103.3 and are last in the league in 3 PT FG with 10.6.

Against the Spurs, Durant left the game before the second half due to an ankle injury, leaving the offensive responsibility entirely in the hands of Kevin Booker, who responded with 29 points, but in a low-scoring victory against the Spurs, only Jones was able to assist Booker with 16 points. Nurkic will also be out for the Suns for at least another week due to injury, so Ighodaro will replace him at center in a starting five that is depleted by injuries.

The Pelicans will have one more day of rest than the Suns. However, they have already taken the court with that advantage three times this season and lost all three games. Against the Hawks in their last game, CJ McCollum stood out in the loss, scoring 29 points, one point shy of his season high.

New Orleans Pelicans - Phoenix Suns Key Points

  1. Pelicans 2nd worst offensive rating in the NBA with 106.6 and 3rd worst defensive rating with 119.7
  2. 7 of the Pelicans' last 10 games have resulted in a Game Total UNDER
  3. Suns won all 3 games this season that they played on the road and as the bookmakers' favorite
  4. Suns 8th in the NBA in fewest Turnovers per game at 13.0

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Phoenix Suns Prediction

But when it comes to being diminished by injuries, the Pelicans got the short end of the stick with the key injuries to Williamson and Ingram. Therefore, a game between two teams with their starting 5 diminished could result in a Game Total UNDER. When Durant left the court, the Suns' offense against the Spurs did not score 30 points in either quarter, they only managed 2 offensive rebounds in that game and meanwhile, the Pelicans are the most inaccurate team when it comes to three-pointers. Our prediction for Spurs vs Suns is: Under 219.5.
