Phoenix Suns vs New Orleans Pelicans Betting Preview
The Phoenix Suns, sitting at 12-8, are set to clash with the struggling New Orleans Pelicans, who are 4-18, at the Smoothie King Center. Tip-off is scheduled for Thursday at 8:00 PM ET. While the Suns are favored by a narrow margin, with a spread of -2.0, the Pelicans have the advantage of extra rest, having not played for three days. This could potentially give them a boost against a Suns team that has dropped three straight on the road.
Despite their recent road woes, Phoenix comes into this matchup with some momentum after a 104-93 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. The Pelicans, on the other hand, are looking to snap a nine-game losing streak, having fallen 124-112 to the Atlanta Hawks in their last outing. New Orleans will need to capitalize on their home-court advantage and the additional rest to turn their fortunes around.
The betting lines suggest a close contest, with the Suns holding an implied win probability of 55%, compared to the Pelicans' 45%. The moneyline for Phoenix is -135, while New Orleans is at +115. For those interested in player props, Devin Booker's points and rebounds have been a focal point, with bettors eyeing the Over on his combined total of 33.5, priced at -115. Sharp bettors see value in this market, believing the Over is mispriced.
As the Suns look to overcome their road struggles and the Pelicans aim to end their losing skid, this matchup promises intrigue for both fans and bettors. Whether New Orleans can leverage their rest advantage or if Phoenix will assert their slight edge remains to be seen.
