LiontipsPhoenix vs New Orleans. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Phoenix got off to a slow start of the new season. Williams' men lost a number of matches already. That's why Suns are considered one of the biggest disappointments of the season. But season is just getting started, so they can change the situation.
Three days ago Suns have finally secured a victory. They managed to stop Cleveland in a home game. A good defensive performance brought a positive result to the Suns. Arizona team recorded a 101:92 victory. It is only a second victory in the current season.
New Orleans are still considered one of the weakest teams in the league. So far Willie Green's men recorded only one victory. One week ago they managed to beat Minnesota (107:98). But after a victory over Wolves, Pelicans suffered defeats to Atlanta (99:102), Sacramento (109:113) and the Knicks (117:123).
Team is not looking good without Brandon Ingram, who is injured. Leader of the Pelicans is unlikely to play in the match against Phoenix.

Tip and bets
Aside from Ingram, Garrett Temple and Devonte Graham will probably miss this match as well. Without those players it will be incredibly hard to play against Phoenix. Even with Ingram in the line-up Pelicans were unable to score many points. We are not expecting a high-scoring performance from the Pelicans.
Our prediction - New Orleans' IT under 104 points
In the most recent match Phoenix recorded a confident victory over Cleveland. Pelicans are not stronger than the Cavaliers. We think that visitors won't be able to put up a fight against the favourite.
Our second bet is on Phoenix to win with a handicap of (-9,5) points
