Pelicans vs. Suns: NBA Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions (Friday)

After a few rocky days, we finally got back to our winning ways on Wednesday, as the sinking Suns were the only side that let us down. After a quiet Thursday, we’re back with another full Friday slate, and I’m dialed in on three games I think there is some value remaining on. And here’s a closer look at Pelicans vs. Suns.

Pelicans vs. Suns: NBA Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions (Friday)

Two teams heading in opposite directions will square off Friday night in New Orleans, as the Pelicans will look to defend their home floor for the sixth time in six tries. Coming into this game on a five-game winning streak, the Pelicans sit atop the Western Conference standings in large part thanks to a defense that is in the top 10 in the league in all major categories.

For the Suns, Wednesday night’s loss to the Celtics was their most recent in a string of bad losses, coming into this one having lost three of four. Their lack of defense has been the issue, allowing 122 points or more in all three of the losses.

While the injury bug continues to plague the Suns, look for the Pelicans to steal another one.

Pelicans +2 (-110)
