The last meeting between the Suns and Pelicans was on 11 December 2022 in a game that was played at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.
Zion Williamson scored 35 points and the Pelicans beat the short-handed Suns 129-124 in overtime for their seventh straight victory.
The Suns are currently placed fourth in the Western Conference having recorded 16 wins and 11 defeats from 27 matches.
While the Pelicans are sitting at the top of the Western Conference having registered 18 victories and eight defeats from 26 games.
The Pelicans took care of home court when they defeated the Suns for the second time in as many games over the last three days.
“I thought the last two games were high level,” Willie Green said.
“That team over there, that’s a good team. I know all of those guys. I know what they’re about. They play hard, they’re well-coached and disciplined.
"And for us to take them on our home floor and win these two games is huge for our program.”
