Pelicans vs. Suns NBA Prediction:
Considering the Pelicans’ recent defensive improvements and the Suns’ recent struggles, this matchup will be closer than the spread suggests. While the Suns have home-court advantage, I like the Pelicans’ momentum. New Orleans has won three out of its last four games straight up and against the number. The Suns, meanwhile, have dropped eight out of their last 10 games overall and are just 3-7 against the spread in their last 10 games.
