The New Orleans Pelicans (5-6) roll into today looking to take care of home court once again and climb back to .500 after snapping a ragged six-game losing streak against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday. Waiting for them will be a young Phoenix Suns (2-9) team looking to build off of a tough but hard fought loss to the Boston Celtics.
No matter the record, the Suns have played the Pelicans tough on the road the past three seasons. From a game winner by Devin Booker to a breakout game from Josh Jackson, New Orleans lost to Phoenix a couple of times in the Smoothie King Center and barely escaped with wins in their last two matchups.
