Phoenix has its best player back and nearly pulled the upset the last game. They lost 106-104 to Portland as a +6.5 dog as Devin Booker scored 30 points. Booker is averaging 28.3 since returning from a four-game layoff. New Orleans is still adjusting after the season-ending loss to DeMarcus Cousins. They are on a five-game win streak, but three of those were overtime, including the last two. New Orleans played overtime Friday night against Miami, then again yesterday at Milwaukee. The Pelicans are #29 in the NBA in points allowed and is 1-8 ATS at home against a team with a losing road record. The visiting team has covered six in a row when these teams clash, and this is a great spot to back the rested team against the home favorite that has played two straight overtime contests. Play Phoenix.
