After absorbing a heavy blowout at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the New Orleans Pelicans will attempt to get back into their winning ways as they take on the Phoenix Suns on Friday at Smoothie King Center.
New Orleans, listed as +5.5 underdog against the Suns, is 7-0 ATS in its last 7 games at home.
Current Form:
The Pelicans will try to bounce back from a 118-141 blowout defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers on December 23. Zion Williamson put up strong numbers off the bench, scoring 26 points on 9 for 15 shooting. Derik Queen also recorded 21 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists, but their individual brilliance could not power their team past the red-hot-shooting Cavs, who made 53 percent of their field goal attempts.
The Suns earned their second win in three games, blasting the Los Angeles Lakers, 132-108, on December 23. Dillon Brooks led the way with 25 points, and Devin Booker recorded 21 points and 11 assists. The Suns, who are still missing key players such as Grayson Allen and Jalen Green, are 16-13 in the season.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
Fearless Forecast: The Pelicans are indeed playing fantastic basketball recently, but I am picking the Suns to beat them soundly on their home floor. The Suns are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games and 14-5 ATS in their last 19 games against an opponent in the Western Conference. Phoenix is also coming off a clinical win over the Lakers, with Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks proving to be a handful in this game. Expect these two players to lead the charge for the Suns, who blew out the Pelicans 121-98 in their first meeting last November 10.
Our betting prediction for the Phoenix Suns vs. the New Orleans Pelicans: The Suns +5.5 points
