Phoenix is tough to defend and play at #5 in the NBA in points scored. The Suns have followed a season-worst six-game skid with a season-best six-game winning streak. Goran Dragic scored 24 points, Eric Bledsoe had 20 of his 22 after halftime, and Phoenix beat the Los Angeles Lakers 116-107 on Sunday night for their sixth consecutive victory (6-0 ATS). The Suns are also 40-18-1 ATS in their last 59 road games. Phoenix has more wins on the road than young New Orleans has at home. New Orleans is #15 in points scored and worse on defense at #22 in points allowed, and are coming off a 107-100 loss to Chicago. The Pelicans are 7-15-1 ATS against the NBA Pacific Division. Phoenix swept last season's series while going 38-for-89 from three-point range (42.7%) and the value tonight is for them to win the game. Play the Phoenix Suns on the moneyline.
