Phoenix Suns

Last game, the Suns faced off against Memphis, one of the Western Conference leaders, and came very close to winning. Mike Budenholzer's team played with the Grizzlies on equal terms throughout the game, and finally got the right to overtime, where they still lost 148:151 (137:137). It should be noted that Phoenix scored 23 points with Bol Bol, who is now in the starting lineup. Also, the big trio scored more than 20 points. Devin Booker had 28 points, Kevin Durant had 26 points, Bradley Beal had 24 points and 11 assists.

In general, the match with Memphis showed that Phoenix is not hopeless, although the team has six losses in the last seven games. The Suns are still in 11th place in the Western Conference standings and are 2.5 wins behind the play-in zone.

The Pelicans played their previous two games on their home court against San Antonio, who recently lost Victor Wembanyama for the rest of the championship. Willie Green's team took advantage of the opponent's problems and took both games - 114:96 and 109:103.

Now New Orleans has 15 wins and 43 losses since the start of the regular season. In the Western Conference standings, the Pelicans are on the penultimate line, ahead of only Utah.

Expert Betting Tips

Phoenix cannot at the moment not take advantage of such chances as home meetings with outsiders. Mike Budenholzer's team is aiming for the play-in zone, from which it is still behind. New Orleans, on the contrary, is not motivated at all, and we believe that the Suns will still get the most important victory. Also, we bet on a low scoring game. The main total in the upcoming game looks overrated.
