LiontipsNew Orleans vs Phoenix. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
New Orleans have a very tough schedule now. Pelicans had to face Milwaukee, Utah and Phoenix, but team remains upbeat. Pelicans lost these matches, but fans are probably satisfied with their level of performance. Team put up an aggressive performance on the offense, but they need to fix their defensive performance.
For the most recent time New Orleans recorded a victory in the previous year, beating Cleveland at home. After that Pelicans were beaten by Milwaukee (113:136), Utah (104:115) and Phoenix (110:123).
Golden State suddenly suffered a defeat to Dallas (82:99). But Warriors' defeat is not the main problem. Stephen Curry received an injury in this match. He is unlikely to play in the next match, so Warriors will probably play with a weakened squad.
Aside from Curry, Otto Porter and Andre Iguodala won't help the team from San Francisco. Golden State will be much weaker without them. In this case, it won't be easy for them to record a victory.

Tip and bets
Curry's absence is a chance for New Orleans. We think that Pelicans will be able to get advantage of that. All of hosts' key players are available for the match. Valanciunas, Ingram and Graham will be in the line-up. In this case, we offer to place a risky bet.
Our prediction - New Orleans to win (Including OT)
We are not expecting a high-scoring performance from the Golden State. It will be difficult for them to score many points without Curry. We don't think that a total of 221,5 points will be beaten.
Our second bet is on total under 221,5 points
