Pelicans vs. Suns Preview
By Ray Monohan
The Pelicans and Suns meet in Phoenix tonight, and this is a good Under spot.
Phoenix has been inconsistent all season long, and their offensive struggles throughout the year have been what's led to the underwhelming position they find themselves in right now.
The Suns scoring only 113.8 points per game, and they've had issues hitting that mark this month as injuries and their inability to find their rhythm has been the main problem.
The Pelicans have been the same in terms of inconsistency, and this should be a game where both teams go through spurts of little-to-no scoring. I'll take the Under.
Best Bet: Under 236.5 (-110)
Pelicans vs. Suns Parlay Picks
By Kyle Murray
Yves Missi Over 8.5 Rebounds
There are a lot of things working in Yves Missi's favor in order for this to be a good spot for him.
First, it's a good matchup, as the Suns have allowed the 6th-most rebounds per game and the 4th-most to centers.
Next, the Pelicans will be thin in the frontcourt for this game, as Kelly Olynyk has been ruled out for rest.
This should put Missi back in a role where he could play upwards of 28-30 minutes. Missi projects for 10.1 rebounds tonight.
Pick: Yves Missi Over 8.5 Rebounds (-115)
