After starting the season slow, Alvin Gentry led the New Orleans Pelicans to two-straight victories and three in their last four games. The team has improved to 5-9 but need to keep winning to get back in the playoff mix. The eight-seed Phoenix Suns aren’t any slouches, starting 7-6 on the year.
Tonight’s game is set for a 9:30 p.m. CT tip-off from Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona.
Beating the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday with a level of ease thanks in no small part to the absence of Damian Lillard, the beat-up Pelicans will again hope to benefit from another team’s injured list.
