Pelicans vs Suns Prediction, Picks and NBA Prop Bets: Bank Suns -8, Devin Booker 26+ Points For Feb 27

The Pelicans snuck away with the win in the last matchup, and they’re gunning for a third straight victory. However, the Suns are eager to grab that win back. With home court advantage this time, my NBA betting tips say Phoenix is due for a bounce-back win.

You know the drill – let’s dive into the Pelicans vs Suns odds and see who walks away with the dub in this second matchup of the season.

Pelicans vs Suns Prediction

Here’s the scoop: Neither the Suns nor Pelicans are looking too sharp. With New Orleans losing key players and Phoenix still sorting out their offense, this won’t be pretty. However, the Suns have the superior offensive core, led by SG Devin Booker and PF Kevin Durant, who are both active. Factor in the Pelicans’ poor defense (26th in points allowed), and my NBA game predictions have Phoenix getting payback. Final score: Phoenix 124, New Orleans 113.

Pelicans vs Suns 3 Best NBA Player Props Today

1. Devin Booker 26+ Points (-197)

For anyone looking to bet online tonight, Booker scoring 26+ points is a lock. Booker has been Phoenix’s go-to offensive option the entire season and has scored 26+ points in three straight games. While you can expect Durant to get in the mix, it’s Booker who’s calling the shots for Phoenix. Not to mention, he dropped 28 points last time against New Orleans. Need I say more? Bank on Booker to hit 26+ points tonight.

2. CJ McCollum 20+ Points (-125)

New Orleans has a tall order ahead, matching up with Phoenix on their home floor. If they want to make it two wins in a row against the Suns, SG CJ McCollum will need to step up and match Phoenix’s offensive firepower. With New Orleans down SG Dejounte Murray and SF Herbert Jones for the season, the load falls on McCollum. After a quiet 13-point game last time, I expect him to bounce back and rack up the points. Take McCollum for an NBA player prop pick tonight to score 20+ tonight.

3. Nick Richards Under 7.5 Points (+102)

If there’s any NBA player prop to bank on, it’s Suns C Nick Richards finishing with under 7.5 points. Richards was brought to Phoenix just a few months ago, and scoring wasn’t the focus – he’s here to grab rebounds and get the ball to Booker or Durant. In fact, he’s only surpassed the 7.5-point mark in three of the team’s last seven games. With Richards facing off against PF Zion Williamson in the paint, I don’t see him scoring more than eight points tonight.

Pelicans vs Suns Moneyline Pick

Both teams have shown they can put up the points despite changes in their lineups, but their consistency? Well, that’s a different story. With that in mind, the Suns are set up for redemption here. The Pelicans are trying to regroup after losing key role players for the season, while Phoenix enters this one coming off a tough overtime loss to Memphis, with their offensive core still healthy and ready to go. In other words: Phoenix takes this one outright.

Bet Suns ML (-315)

Pelicans vs Suns Spread Pick

If the Pelicans were at full strength, I’d be all over them to cover. But with their backcourt running on fumes, it’s tough to see them keeping pace. Their defense has been a turnstile lately, and with Phoenix healthy and hungry after an overtime loss to Memphis, the Suns should have no problem dictating this one. Just like my moneyline pick, I’ve got Phoenix handling business and covering the NBA spread.

Bet on Suns -8

Pelicans vs Suns Over/Under Pick

The Suns have their full offensive core, home court, and plenty of motivation after dropping a tough one to Memphis – not to mention the Pelicans got the best of them last time. Phoenix should have no trouble racking up points. As for New Orleans, they’re still missing key guards, but with McCollum and Trey Murphy III leading the way, they’ll get theirs against a shaky Suns defense.
