Chris Paul is out, but Phoenix has proven it can win without him as the Suns routed Oklahoma City, 124-104, on Thursday night while shooting 53%. Devin Booker led six scorers in double figures with 25 points. The Suns have won eight in a row and are shooting 48.2% from the field this season, and the Pelicans allow 46.6% overall and 36.4% from 3-point range. New Orleans has lost four of its last five and covered the spread in only one of them. The Pelicans are also 0-4 ATS in their last four games versus teams with at least .600 winning percentages. Phoenix is playing a back-to-back, but obviously, it has enough depth to get the cover in this matchup. Take the Suns.
