The Pelicans made it this far by the skin of their teeth. However, this series should be the end of the road for the Pelicans here. The Pelicans are outmatched and on the road the Pelicans, unlike the game against the Clippers will struggle. Look for the Suns to blow this game out and easily cover the spread, but with the two offenses combined the total should end up hitting the over rather easily.
