This one’s against the New Orleans Pelicans, a group limping through injuries and searching for direction. The team sits at .500 heading into the matchup, while the Pelicans, winners of two of their last three, are 2–7 on the year. No Zion. No Yves Missi. Any size advantage they might’ve had is gone, at least in theory.

10 games, 10 stats about where the Suns stand right now
We knew the Western Conference would be a grind, and even at 5-5, the Suns sit ninth in the standings. The first ten games have felt like a crash course in chemistry. When you remember they lost to the Jazz in overtime and dropped one by a single point to Memphis, it’s easy to imagine a 7-3 start, which would have them tied for fourth.
The Phoenix Suns have won their last four-of-five games, and they're digging themselves out of the NBA power ranking basement.
