The Pelicans are playing hard for coach Alvin Gentry, off a win at home last night against the Lakers after building up a big early lead. They are 7-3 ATS playing on no days rest. This is the third straight road game for Phoenix, winding down a lost campaign. The Suns are #22 in the NBA in scoring and second to last in points allowed. Phoenix is on an 8-20 ATS run on the road, plus 10-26 ATS against a team with a losing straight-up record. New Orleans has a winning record at home and is on a 6-1 spread run. 7-foot-2 Center Alexis Ajinca had 28 points and 15 rebounds in Friday's victory over the Lakers, 110-102. He has two double-doubles in the last four games, averaging 16.5 points and 9.8 rebounds during the stretch. And when these teams clash the home team is 8-2 ATS. Play New Orleans.
