Phoenix Suns
The Suns enter this contest having scored 105.5 points per contest. That number is good enough to put them dead in the middle of the pack as the No. 15 team in the NBA.
The problem with that number is that it’s quite misleading. The only reason the Suns post such a high number of points per game is because of their pace. So far this season, the Suns have run the third fastest pace in the league, which means they’re creating more possessions—which means they have more opportunities to score, even if not efficiently.
In terms of offensive efficiency, Phoenix drops way down to 27th in Association. They score just 102.3 points per 100 possessions, which puts them ahead of only the No. 28 Chicago Bulls, 29th place Los Angeles Lakers and last place Sacramento Kings.

Defensively, Phoenix is giving up 112.4 points per night, which is puts them 30th out of 30 teams in the league.
If you think that this is mostly because of their pace, think again. The Suns are 29th in the NBA in terms of defensive efficiency, giving up a whopping 108.9 points per 100 possessions.
That number puts them ahead of only those lowly Kings who also hold last place in offensive efficiency.
