New Orleans Pelicans vs Phoenix Suns Pick – 2/28/2025
The New Orleans Pelicans (16-43) face off against the Phoenix Suns (27-32) in a Friday night showdown at Footprint Center, set to tip off at 9:00 PM ET on February 28, 2025. This matchup marks a back-to-back game for both teams, each having played the night before, which could impact their performance due to fatigue.
The Pelicans are coming off an unexpected victory over the Suns, winning 124-116 in their last outing. This upset was particularly notable as New Orleans entered that game as a 6.5-point underdog, with only a 30% implied probability of winning. However, the Pelicans have struggled overall, losing 37 of their last 50 games, which raises questions about their consistency.
On the other hand, the Suns enter this contest cold, having dropped three consecutive games. Despite their recent struggles, Phoenix is favored at home, currently sitting at -7.0 on the spread, with a moneyline of -260. This gives them an implied win probability of 70%, significantly higher than the Pelicans' 30%.
For those looking to wager on player props, Trey Murphy III's Points and Assists market is gaining traction among bettors. The current line sits at Under 28.5 Points and Assists (-110), with sharp money appearing to favor the Under, indicating a belief that this line may be mispriced.
As both teams look to break their recent patterns, the Pelicans will aim to build on their surprising win, while the Suns will seek to turn their fortunes around in front of their home crowd.
