Phoenix Suns vs New Orleans Pelicans: Key Numbers & Markets
Preliminary review and match prediction for Phoenix Suns vs New Orleans Pelicans
Phoenix Suns:
The Phoenix Suns finally won for the first time in six games. The victim was the struggling Los Angeles Clippers (111-95), but it’s a big question whether this win is the starting point for another winning streak.
Monty Williams’ men will be serious about their battle with the Pelicans, as the wounds of a double defeat in Louisiana still need to be healed. The burden of responsibility for revenge is likely to weigh on the Suns.
Because of their fairly serious losing streak, Phoenix has slipped noticeably down the standings in their conference and are now only in fourth place. After 29 games played, the Arizona club has 17 wins and 12 losses.
The Phoenix Suns have won 80% of their regular-season home games.
New Orleans Pelicans:
The New Orleans Pelicans posted a solid winning streak a couple of weeks ago that allowed them to climb into first place in the conference, but the Louisiana club lost twice in their last two games to the Utah Jazz at home.
Zion Williamson scored 57 points in the last two games. C.J. McCollum also returned from injury, but his effort was also not enough for at least one win over the Jazz.
Currently, the New Orleans Pelicans have 18 wins and 10 losses and are sitting in second place in the conference. The Louisiana team won its last two head-to-head games against Phoenix. The Suns will be as angry as possible, as they will want to exact revenge for those two losses.
The New Orleans Pelicans are scoring an average of 117.4 points per game.
