New Orleans Pelicans VS Phoenix Suns

At 08:00 Beijing time on December 28, 2025, the NBA regular season will usher in a matchup between the Southwest Division and the Pacific Division, with the New Orleans Pelicans hosting the Phoenix Suns. This analysis focuses on the Winning Handicap, with the visiting Suns winning at 1.45.

New Orleans Pelicans have been in ups and downs recently, with a win rate of about 50% in the last ten games, and their home performance is acceptable, but there are holes on the defensive end, especially against teams with strong outside firepower. The Phoenix Suns have had an even better record recently, winning seven of their last ten games, with full firepower on the offensive end, and an attacking group composed of core defenders and strikers in good form and stable away combat ability.

In the past two seasons, the Suns have had a clear advantage, winning seven of the last ten meetings. Especially in the away game against the Pelicans, the Suns have won many times with a more mature tactical system and key ball ability. The Pelicans may have an advantage in interior confrontation, but it is often difficult to limit the Sun's multi-point flowering.

offered by the odds agency for this game are: New Orleans Pelicans win 2.85, draw 0.0 (Note: Basketball games usually do not have a draw option, the odds here may be set to display format or specific markets), and the Phoenix Suns win away at 1.45. The low odds of 1.45 away wins clearly reflect the high recognition of the Suns' strength and form, believing that their away win is a high probability event.

comprehensive fundamentals and data, the Phoenix Suns are the more optimistic side in this game. Its stable offensive system, better recent form and psychological advantage against the Pelicans make it the initiative in away games. If the Pelicans want to create an upset, they must improve their defensive intensity and effectively limit the Suns' core scoring points, but it is more difficult. Prediction direction: Phoenix Suns win away.
