The Pelicans have no new injuries to report and are projected to start Asik, Davis, Gee, Evans, and Gordon. The Suns are projected to start Bledsoe, Knight, Chandler, Leuer, and Tucker.
The Suns run an efficient offense, but they also allow their opponents to operate efficiently. Phoenix plays at a fast pace, which could help the Pelicans since this is what they aim to do, as well. The Suns also commit turnovers at a high rate (14.8%, surpassed only by Philadephia’s 16.8% . . . It’s Always Sunny?), so the Pelicans may have a chance to help their offense and defense by generating points of turnovers in this game by disrupting the opposing guards and their passes.
