The Suns are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 Friday games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest. The Pelicans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Friday games. The over is 4-1 in Suns last 5 road games. The under is 4-1 in Pelicans last 5 overall. The Suns are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in New Orleans and 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Somebody needs to make this line make sense for me. The Phoenix Suns look nothinglike the team from last season, and they're fresh off getting their boots smoked by the Celtics. The New Orleans Pelicans have quietly been one of the hotter teams in the league, and that includes at home, where they win by an average of 9.3 points while shooting 49.5 percent from the field. This line is surprising to say the least. Give me the Pels.
