Phoenix Suns vs New Orleans Pelicans Predictions 4/24/2022

Meanwhile, the New Orleans Pelicans are fortifying their defenses for the coming onslaught of Game 4. Even without Suns SG Devin Booker, New Orleans cannot just rely on 2 star players in SF Brandon Ingram and SG CJ McCollum to carry them across the next encounter.

Their recent loss to a score of 111-114, Friday night saw Ingram pour in 34 points with McCollum following with 30. The Pelicans will give their all in this crucial point of the playoffs.

The Pelicans will look to level the series and are 25-27 against Western Conference teams. New Orleans is 18-32 against opponents with a winning record. Center Jonas Valanciunas is the leading scorer of the team with 17.8 ppg, 54.4% from the field, and 82.0% from the FT line.

The Pels split their last 10 outings averaging 113.7 points, 43.8 rebounds, 24.4 assists, 9.1 steals, and 3.4 blocks per game while shooting 46.7% from the field. Their opponents averaged 114.7 points per game.

The total went UNDER in 4 of New Orleans’ last 6 games at home.
The total went OVER in 7 of New Orleans’ last 7 games when playing at home against Phoenix.
New Orleans is 12-6 ATS in their last 18 games against an opponent in the Pacific Division division.

Phoenix Suns vs New Orleans Pelicans. The NBA pick is the Phoenix Suns. New Orleans has no answer to Phoenix’s depth on the bench. They need Ingram and McCollum to play at an elite level nightly, and even that may not be enough to win another game. That is what happened in Game 3.

The Suns gave them another plus with its poor 15.4% shooting from 3, but that did not help them either. The Phoenix crew chipped in to help lift their team into a Booker-less mode. Expect that to happen again with the Suns taking Game 4 to a predicted score of 113-109.
