As last night's game against the Pelicans, one of the season's biggest underdogs, showed, the Suns have finally fallen apart. The team realized only 46.8% of shots from the game and allowed 11 losses on 29 assists. As a result, the defeat was 116:124. For Phoenix, it was their third consecutive loss and seventh in the last eight games.
Thus, the Suns have fewer and fewer chances to make the playoffs. Arizona is now 11th in the Western Conference and three wins away from the top-10. We also note that Kevin Durant will almost certainly leave the team. The leader of Phoenix has requested a trade from the club in the coming summer.
New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans have not claimed anything this season for a long time, but now Willie Green's team has formed a winning streak - of three games in a row. Prior to the win over Phoenix, New Orleans defeated San Antonio twice on their home court - 114-96 and 109-103. During the stretch of the last five games, New Orleans has four wins.
The Pelicans currently have a total balance of 16-43. In the Western Conference standings, New Orleans is ahead of only Utah, occupying the penultimate place. Even if the team from Louisiana wins all its remaining games, it will not catch up with the play-in zone.
H2H Meetings
New Orleans beat Phoenix three previous matches, including two in the current championship.
Expert Betting Tips
The class of Phoenix, at least potentially, is definitely not lower than New Orleans' at the moment. In this regard, we wouldn't be surprised if the Suns take revenge for last night's loss in the upcoming game, breaking their losing streak. Plus, Phoenix has tournament motivation on their side. Mike Budenholzer's team, unlike their opponent, still has a real chance to climb into the play-in zone. We bet on the Suns to win, and we also believe that the game will be a high-scoring affair, just like yesterday.
