The Phoenix Suns (43–31) travel to the New Orleans Pelicans (45–29). This is a game that favors the home team, which may surprise some. However, when you look at the overall seasons and even just consider how both teams have been as of late, the line makes sense.
But regardless of what the books say, do you see Phoenix grabbing a win on the road tonight in New Orleans?

Game Prediction
The Phoenix Suns are a good team, and you have to fear their duo come the playoffs. However, overall, it’s been a disappointing season. Furthermore, even without Ingram, this New Orleans team hasn’t lost much of a step. Therefore, when you take everything into consideration, I like the New Orleans Pelicans to Nollywood but cover the spread.
Final Pick
New Orleans Pelicans -1.5
