Phoenix Suns hot the road as they play fellow Western Conference rivals New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA 2020-21 regular-season match at Smoothie King Center.
The Pelicans are in a rut and find themselves 2nd from bottom in the Western Conference. They are on the six-game losing streak and are four-game behind the playoff spots.
The Suns, on the other hand, have certainly made a very good start to the new season. They are 9-11 on the season, and currently, occupy the last playoff spot in the Western Conference.

KEY PLAYERS OF PHX VS NOP :
PHEONIX SUNS ( PHX) :
DEVIN BOOKER :
D-Book is a scoring machine, he can score inside and outside, plus his shooting weapons are limitless. He averaged an impressive 26.8 PPG, along with 6.5 APG and 4.2 RPG, numbers that display his prowess over the game.
D-Book will look to shoot for the scoring title this season and reach new heights with the help of Chris Paul. He can be used Pro-player in the Fantasy match-up.
DEANDRE AYTON :
Ayton is an incredible two-way player and will look to have a breakout season this year. Last season, he piled up double-doubles, and ended up with the averages of 18.2 PPG, 11.5 RPG, while his defensive presence helped him to get 1.5 BPG. A wonderful grab for fantasy lovers
NEW ORLEANS PELICANS (NOP) :
ZION WILLIAMSON :
Took him 20 odd minutes to justify all the hype surrounding him back in January. Williamson is primed to become the next face of the league. He has broken many records for a rookie already despite featuring in only a handful of games.
He is a good shot for the captain option in this Dream11 Basketball fantasy basketball match.

DeAndre Ayton played 30 minutes but scored just nine points on 3-of-5 shooting in a loss to the Kings on Saturday night.Through two games, Ayton has a combined 22 points, 20 rebounds and 14 shot attempts. He should be doing that every game, honestly.
