The Suns are coming into this game with a 43-31 record this season and they are currently sitting in 8th place in the Western Conference as they have been slipping in their recent games. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games and they are coming off of a very bad loss against the Thunder in their last game, losing by 20+ points on the road against a Thunder team that was missing their best player. They have struggled in their recent games on the road as well as they have lost 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games on the road. They have struggled against the better teams they have been facing in these games as they have losses to the Bucks as well as the Thunder, and they even have a loss to the Spurs in that span who have been one of the worst teams in the NBA all season. The Suns have been too inconsistent recently and now they are going up against a Pelicans team that is 45-29 this season and currently sitting in 6th place in the Western Conference, trying to hold onto that 2 game lead they have over 7th place. The Pelicans have not been great recently as they have also lost 2 of their last 3 games with both losses coming at home against the Thunder and the Celtics, but they also have a win against the Bucks in that span as they have played 3 of the best teams in the NBA in their last 3 games. They have still won 3 of their last 5 games at home with this very tough schedule recently and they are going to be playing with revenge in this game since they lost to the Suns at home by 10+ points earlier this season. The Pelicans are going to win this game.
