This Thursday night matchup will see the Phoenix Suns take on the New Orleans Pelicans.
These teams have met once this season. The first meeting resulted in the Pelicans winning 124-121.
Phoenix Suns
The Suns will be playing the second night of a back to back in this game. They will take on the Orlando Magic on Wednesday and then will travel to Louisiana.
The Suns actually have an offense that is lighting up the scoreboard. They average 114.4 points per game. This is the 6th best scoring offense in the league.
They shoot the ball at 46.1% from the field, which ranks 9th in the NBA. Their three-point percentage is also in the top half of the league, as they rank 13th an average 36%.
Devin Booker has been by far the best player for the Suns as he leads the team in points per game, averaging 24.4. Phoenix also have four other guys who average at least 10.9 points per game, so they do a great job of spreading the ball around.

Unlike their offense, the defense has not been good. They are allowing 112.5 points per game. This ranks 18th in the league.
Teams shoot 46.6% from the field, 21st in the NBA and 36% from the three-point line, ranking 18th.
New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans have looked terrible recently, losing six games in a row.
Despite no Zion, the Pels are the 8th best scoring team in the NBA. They are averaging 113.7 points per game.
As a team, they shoot just 45.1% from the field, which is 15th in the league. However, the three-point line is where they excel. New Orleans shoot 37.7% from deep range, the fourth best mark in the league.
Brandon Ingram has been the leading scorer for this team this season. He is averaging 25.4 points per game. He also leads the team in shooting, hitting 48.9% of his shots from the field.
The Pelicans also have four other guys who score in double figures. Most notably is Jrue Holiday, who averages 19.3 points per game. Also, we have JJ Reddick, who averages 15 points per game, but is shooting 45.9% from the three-point line.

The reason the Pelicans are scoring so much is because they cannot stop anyone. they allow 118.8 points per game. This ranks second to last in the NBA.
Teams shoot 47.3% from the field and 37.5% from deep range, both ranking in the bottom half of the league.
The Pelicans are having trouble closing out games and I am not sure they will be able to stop Devin Booker from having another breakout performance.
