The Pelicans are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest and 1-9 ATS in their last 10 Saturday games. The Suns are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The over is 9-4 in Pelicans last 13 road games. The under is 8-3 in Suns last 11 home games. The Pelicans are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Phoenix.

Even with a couple of losses, I'm still very high on the New Orleans Pelicans and the way this team is playing. The Phoenix Suns continue to lose games, and that includes losing their last 5 games by an average of 8.2 points. I'll continue to find value with the Pels in the underdog role as I think this team is a legit contender and there's always going to be value with free points and good teams.
