The New Orleans Pelicans boast an impressive 84.6% win rate at home and have won their last 10 games, showcasing a dominant offensive and defensive performance with an average net score of 14.8 points. Their offense is potent, averaging 94.5 points in the last 10 games with a 49% field goal percentage and 36.6% from three-point range. However, their first-round away loss revealed a decline in outside shooting efficiency under high-intensity competition. Defensively, their half-court defensive efficiency and rebound control create a systemic advantage, but the primary lineup's physical fatigue could affect their late-game rotation depth. The Phoenix Suns have a 46.2% win rate on the road, with an average net loss of 2.3 points. The Pelicans currently hold a total record of 8 wins and 24 losses, ranking 14th in the Western Conference, with a 5-5 record in their last ten games. Zion, the team's leading scorer, averages 21.8 points per game, while Quinn leads in rebounds with 6.8 per game and assists with 4.1 per game. However, the Pelicans are facing significant injury issues. Small forward Herbert Jones is out due to an ankle injury, shooting guard Dejounte Murray is sidelined with a tendon injury, and shooting guard Jordan Poole is questionable due to an ankle injury. These absences impact the team's strength on both ends of the court, diminishing their consistent scoring capabilities and hindering their ability to contain opponents defensively.
