Western Conference rivals meet on the court when the Phoenix Suns, who are 8th in the West, take on the New Orleans Pelicans, who are 5th in the West. The Suns have been dealing with injuries but have started to put things together and have won three in a row. The offense is 14th in the NBA and is putting up 115.9 points per game. They are shooting 48.3% from the field and 37.6% from deep. On the defensive end of the court, they are giving up 114.4 points which is 15th. New Orleans is in first place in the Southwest Division. Their offense is up 116.9 points per game on 48.7% shooting from the field and 38.7% from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 112 points per game. New Orleans has been getting it done on the offensive end behind a three-headed monster of Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram, and CJ McCullen.Phoenix has three players of their own in Durant, Booker, and Beal who are all finally healthy and starting to mesh. New Orleans has covered in seven of its last 10, Phoenix has not covered in four of its last five, and just two of their last eight on the road. I am taking the Pelicans at home in this one.

Play on New Orleans. This is a 4% play.
