This spread has fallen from an open of 216.5 because of no Brandon Ingram for the Pels, but the Suns are without the anchor of their defense in the paint in Deandre Ayton. As it is both teams are below-par defensively with the Suns 22nd in rating at 109.1 and the Pelicans 26th at 110.2. Offensively, both are Top 10 in pace. Thus, I think reaching 215 combined points shouldn't be too hard.

At 1-6, the Pelicans have had issues with players being in and out of the lineup. Uncertainty lingers around several of them, including Devonte' Graham, Brandon Ingram and Garrett Temple. Yet, New Orleans has kept games close as it has lost each of its three games by fewer than seven points. Take the value here on the double digits with the Pelicans.
