Wins are critical with playoff seeding on the line for the Phoenix Suns and the New Orleans Pelicans, and we have you covered with our Suns vs. Pelicans player props based on the best NBA odds.
The New Orleans Pelicans are clinging to the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference, with a two-game lead over the Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns keeping them out of the Play-In Tournament.
The Suns are the No. 8 seed, and a head-to-head win over the Pels on Monday would be a major step in closing the gap. Both teams are 6-4 over their last 10 and have lost two of their last three. The Suns won the first matchup with the Pelicans 123-109, with both teams at full strength in January.
New Orleans will be without Brandon Ingram for this meeting. While this is the only injury of note, it's a big one. We've got three plus-money player props for Monday's marquee Western Confere nce matchup.
Here are our best Suns vs. Pelicans player prop predictions and NBA picks (odds via our best NBA betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Suns vs. Pelicans predictions
McCollum has averaged 4.4 triples across his last five games, knocking down at least four trip les in four games and at least five triples twice. It's no surprise that Brandon Ingram has been sidelined for the last five games, and McCollum has taken on an expanded role on offense. McCollum has played in 10 games without Ingram this season, including nine with at least 30 minutes. He hit at least four 3-pointers six times in those nine games. McCollum has appeared in three road games with Ingram sidelined, hitting five or more threes in each of them.
McCollum has hit the Over on this prop just 13 times this season, including eight times on the road, but over the last 10 outings, the Suns have allowed the ninth-most made 3-pointers. The implied probability of the +210 odds is just 32.3%, but we can confidently bet the Over here, given how well McCollum has played with Ingram out. We're climbing the ladder from the original line of 3.5, which we can get for the best odds at FanDuel for -113. That wager is a bit safer, but a $10 wager at -113 yields an $8.85 return. A $10 wager on +210 odds yields a far greater return of $21.
Booker's line is offered at 25.5 or 26.5 across our best sports betting sites, but we're not simply taking the offered line when we can buy three or four more points for longer odds and a more profitable payout. On the season, Booker has 31 games with at least 26 points, 28 with at least 27 and 22 with at least 30. He's hit the Over on our alternate points prop in 36.7% of his games, and the implied probability of our new odds is 35.7%. We're right on track.
Booker has struggled offensively over his last two, putting up 30 points on just 9-of-26 shooting. Phoenix won one of those games, but the Suns got blown out by the Oklahoma City Thunder in their last outing. That's why we're taking the alt line here. Booker will need to be better on offense, especially in such a pivotal matchup. On the season, he's averaged more points and fewer assists on the road than at home, highlighting his scoring ability. He dropped 52 on New Orleans in this season's first matchup and had a 58-point game against the Pels last season. He's scored at least 30 in four of his last seven overall vs. New Orleans, and he's got eight 30-point games in 25 career matchups with New Orleans.
Make sure to get the best value on this alt line by visiting bet365.
Jones is one of the best defenders in the Association, and we're banking on another strong performance on that end of the court Monday. On the season, Jones has averaged 2.2 steals + blocks, but he's averaged 2.8 since the All-Star break. He's been particularly effective over his last 10, averaging 3.3 in that span and hitting the Over on this line five times. Over the last 10, the Suns have allowed the third-most steals, making this prop even more attractive.
Jones has 12 games with at least three steals this season and six games with at least three blocks. He's hit the Over on this prop in just 22 of 68 games played, good for 32.3%. The implied probability of our +105 odds is 48.8%, but Jones has hit the Over in 50% of his last 10, so we're on target here. A $10 wager on this line will turn a profit of $10.50, and we're all in on New Orleans' defensive stud doing what he does best to slow down Phoenix's Big 3.
