Phoenix Suns vs New Orleans Pelicans: Roster Review
With Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson missing from the lineup, the Pelicans have lost a lot of presence inside the paint and on the perimeter. In their absence, players like Trey Murphy III, Daniel Thies, Dejounte Murray, and CJ McCollum will need to be at their best for any hopes of winning.
The Suns will face similar challenges due to the absence of Kevin Durant and Jusuf Nurkic. Thankfully, they have enough quality between Devin Booker and Bradley Beal to easily make up for this loss. If these two get it going, this should prove to be a walkover for the Suns.
