The New Orleans Pelicans boast an impressive 84.6% win rate at home, currently on a 10-game winning streak. Their dominant offensive and defensive performances are evident in an average net point differential of 14.8. Offensively, the team scores an average of 94.5 points in their last 10 games, with a 49% field goal percentage and a 36.6% three-point percentage. However, their earlier away loss highlighted a potential decline in outside shooting efficiency under high-intensity pressure. Defensively, their half-court defensive efficiency and rebounding control provide a systematic advantage, although the fatigue of the starting lineup could affect their late-game rotation depth. The Phoenix Suns, currently seventh in the Western Conference with a 17-13 record, are on a two-game winning streak. Devin Booker's recent form has been exceptional, averaging 29.5 points and 8 assists over the last 20 games. Kevin Durant's inside dominance is also noteworthy. The absence of players like Bradley Beal, Josh Okogie, and Damion Lee weakens their backcourt depth. The New Orleans Pelicans, with an 8-24 record, are at the bottom of the Western Conference and are coming off two consecutive losses, although they previously had a five-game winning streak. Zion Williamson's improved efficiency off the bench and the outside shooting of Trey Murphy III and Jose Alvarado are positives, but their league-worst defensive average of 122.8 points allowed per game is a concern.
