Phoenix will play with a sense of urgency tonight, with their core group healthy and unable to rest given how tight the West playoff race is. New Orleans has lost two of its last three games and has looked like a much different team without Brandon Ingram (20.9 PPG and 5.8 APG). I personally believe BI is one of the best hoopers in the league, and without him, NOLA's depth takes a hit. That's especially worrisome when it comes to defending Kevin Durant. Yes, the Pels have length, but Durant will cook when he's facing Larry Nance or Zion Williamson.

NOLA will have to win this game in the paint, as it doesn't attempt the frequency of three-pointers necessary to keep pace with PHX w/o Ingram. I'll take the Suns at +1.5 at -106 odds.
