Phoenix Suns
With eight games remaining the Suns statistically have the hardest finishing schedule. Entering this match, they sit in the eighth spot even with the Kings but behind them based on divisional and conference win/loss records.

The Suns have struggled against the spread with a 30-42-2 record through 74 contests.
Suns Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Damion Lee, SG (out indefinitely — knee)
New Orleans Pelicans
For most of the season, the Pelicans have flown under the radar as pundits’ focus and national TV aired the California teams. But with their rise up the standings that focus shifted not allowing them to remain in the shadows.
That may explain the recent showing of the club who’ve ridden the .500 mark through the last six matches (3-3). Although it’s more likely the absence of Branon Ingram is the reason particularly since Zion Williamson has to play extended minutes and the fatigue is showing in clutch time.
Pelicans Stats
The Pelicans rank 12th on offense (116.6), and tied for fourth on defense (111.4) while posting a plus +5.2 net differential which ranks also ranks fourth overall.
Like their overall record, New Orleans has consistently improved against the spread possessing a 40-32-2 record through 74 contests.
Pelicans Injury Report

Free Phoenix Suns vs. New Orleans Pelicans NBA Prediction:
While it’s not implausible that the Suns could catch the Pelicans who have a two-game edge over them it’s unlikely. Still, Phoenix has much more at stake in this match given their precarious situation in the standings.
As noted they trail the Kings who would host the play-in game if things stay the same, but more importantly, they need to hold off the hard-charging Lakers who’ve won six of their last seven.
