Phoenix @ New Orleans
Current Records: Phoenix 2-1; New Orleans 1-2
What to Know
The Phoenix Suns are on the road again Sunday and play against the New Orleans Pelicans at 9:30 p.m. ET April 24 at Smoothie King Center. Phoenix will be strutting in after a victory while New Orleans will be stumbling in from a loss.
The Suns are hoping for another win. They came out on top in a nail-biter against New Orleans this past Friday, sneaking past 114-111. Phoenix’s point guard Chris Paul was one of the most active players for the squad, dropping a double-double on 28 points and 14 dimes. That’s the fifth consecutive matchup in which Paul has had at least ten assists.
Phoenix is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Sacramento Kings April 10 easily too and instead slipped up with a 116-109. In other words, don’t count New Orleans out just yet.
