On Friday, The Phoenix Suns head to Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, USA, to face the Pelicans.
The Phoenix Suns just suffered their most difficult Game loss against the Mavericks in Game 7 in the playoffs. They dropped to Boston at 125-98, but they trailed as much as 45 points halfway through the 3rd quarter. Sun’s has no answer for Boston’s offense. They allowed them to get 101 shots, and they made 48.5% of them. Also, they attempt 93 by connecting on 39.8%. They gave 18 turnovers compared to only 12 for Boston. Phoenix Suns were never close to covering the 2-spread, and the total didn’t quite reach 230.5.
The Pelicans are in the top 10 for most offensive and defensive efficiency. The average is 54.7% Field Goals while allowing 52.7% on the competitor, both teams putting them at 8th in the NBA. They’re the great team in the league at protecting the 3-point line, holding the unit to 32.7% shooting from the long way. They also excel at provoking the ball handlers, averaging 8.8 steals per night, the 2nd most of any team in the league. Their power is their rebounding, where they are in the top 10 in the offensive and defensive rebound percentages.
This game will be necessary for the two teams as they clash for the top in the Western Conference, so we will expect a high effort and solid game. The total has gone below in 5 of New Orleans in the last six games. New Orleans’ three-point defense will cause an issue for the Phoenix Suns, which is only 18th in 2-point percentage at 53.3%. Connected that with their struggles to get to the stripe, and it could end up being a bottom-scoring affair than anticipated. These teams play exceptionally fast, with New Orleans in 11th place for pace with 100.69 and the Suns sitting at 20th with 99.11.
Take New Orleans for the win.
