Phoenix has won 3 of its last 4 games, which includes a 140-111 beatdown of the Los Angeles Lakers at home Sunday. The Suns are 5-2 straight up (SU) but just 3-4 against the spread (ATS) since March 2.
New Orleans snapped a 4-game losing skid (0-4 ATS) Sunday by crushing the Houston Rockets 130-105 at home. The Pelicans have regressed due to the injury of SF Brandon Ingram and SG C.J. McCollum being in health and safety protocols.
The Pelicans blasted the Suns 117-102 in Phoenix Feb. 25 as 6-point underdogs. However, Ingram and McCollum combined for 60 points on 20-for-35 shooting, but Ingram will miss Tuesday's game.
