Phoenix Suns vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction & Prop Bets - 12/27/2025
Updated July 9, 2026
The Phoenix Suns and New Orleans Pelicans are set for the second installment of their back-to-back series on Saturday night, with Phoenix looking to make it two in a row against New Orleans. The Suns took the opener 115-108 on Friday night behind a big fourth quarter from Devin Booker and an all-around effort from Mark Williams despite a brutal night from deep for both squads. Here, I break down round two between these teams and give you my Suns vs Pelicans prediction from Smoothie King Center.
Pick: | Suns -4.5 |
Confidence: | 3/5 |

Player | Prop |
|---|---|
Devin Booker | Over 26.5 Points |
Mark Williams | Over 8.5 Rebounds |
Zion Williamson | Over 19.5 Points |
Score Projection: Suns 120 – Pelicans 112
Win Probability: Suns 64%, Pelicans 36%
I'm going to take the Suns to win and cover the spread as a favorite on the road in this contest. Phoenix has shown an ability to close out games in the clutch behind Booker that the Pelicans have not. I think that we will see the Suns get the job done in clutch time and make it three in a row over the Pelicans so far this season.
