10* UNDER (EXPRESS)

I believe both teams are going to come out "flat" here, and because of that, I expect this total to fall "under" the posted number. The Pels are just 23-36 this season, which includes going only 10-19 on the road. The main reason has been their poor offensive play, as they average only 106.3 PPG. The Suns are the highest-scoring team in the league, averaging 113.8 PPG, but with Utah coming to town on Sunday, I say the home side takes the foot off the gas in the second half. Phoenix won 123-110 at New Orleans at the start of the year and that total sailed well "over" the number, but take note that the Pelicans have seen the total dip below the posted number in 6 of their last 8 in trhing to revenge a SU/ATS home loss against an opponent. Look for "rust" to play a factor here for each side in their first game back from the break; the play is the under!
