For the third time this season, the Pelicans will face the Suns, yet they probably won't mind. New Orleans has just 7 wins in their first 25 games this season, but two of them have come against Phoenix. In back-to-back games right before Thanksgiving, the Pelicans dismissed the Suns both times by a margin of 6 points. They scored 120 or more in both contests, a total they've only hit or surpassed in just two other regular season games. Yeah, playing the Suns has been good for the team's W/L record and individual stat lines.
Since the two losses, the Suns have managed to win just 4 of their last 12 games.
