Without Anthony Davis blocking shots in the middle, New Orleans has found a new up-tempo style, eighth in the NBA in scoring (113.7 pg), and fourth in three-point shooting (37.7%). However, they don't play much defense, riding a six-game losing streak, and they are second-worst in points allowed (118.8 pg) and sixth-worst in field goal shooting surrendered. Phoenix has a similar run-and-gun offense, at sixth in scoring (114.4 pg), ninth in field goal shooting, and #10 in three-point shooting (36.4%). The Suns are on a 10-3 run OVER the total playing little defense, #11 in points allowed. They come off a 128-114 loss at Orlando allowing 57.6 percent from the floor. These teams met last month as New Orleans won 124-121 at Phoenix going OVER the total by double-digits, as this one will. Play this one to finish OVER.
