Game outlook
Phoenix is on the road playing New Orleans at the Smoothie King Center stadium on Sunday, 12/11/2022 @ 3:30pm EST. New Orleans -2 was the opening favorite and line hasn't moved.
Phoenix's Suns have lost three games and are looking to break out of their slump when they play the New Orleans Pelicans, who have won six straight games. The Suns stayed in New Orleans as they faced the Pelicans on Friday and lost 128-117. I won't jump to conclusions and say this is a revenge spot, but I want to look back on what happened at the end. In the final seconds of the game when the Pelicans already had the game won, Zion Williamson did a 360 windmill dunk that resulted in the Suns being upset as he broke the unwritten rule of not letting the clock run out to end the game. I won't be surprised if the Suns come out with vengeance on their mind in this afternoon's matchup after leaving the Smoothie Center with a bitter taste.
