KEY GAME INFORMATION
NEW ORLEANS: The Pels' guards are understandably giddy about the chance to play in Gentry's fast-paced system after a few seasons in Monty Williams' grinding style. Once he hopefuly returns in late December from a knee injury, Tyreke Evans will see time at all three perimeter spots. He has drive-and-kick ability, but needs to be surrounded by shooters . . . Eric Gordon seems to be perfect for Gentry's system. He's their best shooter, capable of getting into the paint and shows a good understanding of ball movement. (Plus, he's in a contract year.) . . . It was another injury-filled year for Jrue Holiday, who may no longer be capable of handling full-time starter's minutes. He's played 74 games total over two years in New Orleans . . . Alonzo Gee will pick up some garbage-time minutes. Anthony Davis will be squarely in the MVP discussion, especially with the statistical boost he'll get in Gentry's system. If he successfully adds a three-point shot, he's going to be terrifyingly good . . . Ryan Anderson should get a big boost in Gentry's system. They have enough versatile pieces to find room for Anderson, one of the league's best floor-spacing bigs . . . Quincy Pondexter is a quality piece off the bench, a guy who can defend and has proven capable of knocking down corner threes . . . Dante Cunningham can play both forward spots, though he's unlikely to play the kind of minutes he got last year . . . Luke Babbitt's greatest contribution to the NBA continues to be his mention on Onion SportsDome. Omer Asik is likely Gentry's Bogut, a rim protector and all-around enforcer who plays part-time minutes . . . Alexis Ajinca has become a serviceable player on both ends of the floor, and should be a solid second-unit guy . . . No longer a beast, Kendrick Perkins was brought to New Orleans to mentor the Pels' bigs.
PHOENIX: There were some trade rumors swirling around Eric Bledsoe this summer, but he's still in Phoenix and is the best guard on this roster by a wide margin . . . This summer, the Suns pulled up to Brandon Knight's house with a dump truck full of cash despite a track record of mediocre play. They're apparently trusting Knight to blossom in their uptempo attack . . . Sonny Weems returns from overseas as an effective defender, but long-range shooting remains a question mark . . . Devin Booker is one of the best pure shooters in this rookie class, though he'll need a year to learn on the job . . . Archie Goodwin will find minutes tough to come by until he develops a three-point shot . . . Ronnie Price gives them a veteran No. 3 point guard. Markieff Morris hasn't shown the ability to consistently knock down threes, which is something the Suns want out of the 4. He needs to shoot it well early to hold onto his starting job . . . P.J. Tucker was a little more assertive offensively late last season, but he's typically the fourth or fifth offensive option on the floor . . . Phoenix happily plucked Mirza Teletovic from the cash-strapped Nets, giving them a floor-spacing power forward to share time with Morris . . . Second-year man T.J. Warren is probably a better offensive player than Tucker, but he's a middling athlete better-suited defensively to the second unit . . . Veteran forward Jon Leuer is nice to have around as a practice player. Phoenix is counting on Tyson Chandler to provide some rim protection behind their middling defensive players. He'll also be relied on to do a lot of rebounding . . . The Suns will still find time for Alex Len, who could play alongside Chandler as a super-sized power forward at times. He added a corner three this summer.
PREVIEW
Pelicans-Suns Preview
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer

The Phoenix Suns turned in arguably their worst performance of the season without their top player.

Even though Eric Bledsoe could be sidelined again, they hope they'll be better prepared for their second matchup in a span of four days with the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night.

Phoenix (7-7) has dropped three of four, capping a three-game trip with Monday's 98-84 loss at San Antonio. The Suns came in averaging 106.5 points, but were held to a season low in points, and their 28 turnovers were the second-most in the NBA this season.

Bledsoe, who leads the team with 23.2 points, 5.8 assists and 2.0 steals per game, sat out due to a sore left knee and is questionable for this contest.

The Suns play at the league's second-fastest pace, but they were too careless against the Spurs, who scored 27 points off Phoenix's turnovers. The last three opponents have combined for 74 points off turnovers.

"I don't know what we were doing just handing the ball, soft passes," coach Jeff Hornacek said. "Even when we tried to lob it over, the passes were like five feet short of where it's supposed to go. That's hard to overcome."

Carelessness was also a major issue in Sunday's 122-116 loss at New Orleans, Phoenix's third defeat in four meetings. The Pelicans recorded 25 points off turnovers and Anthony Davis scored 32 points, while Ryan Anderson added 29.

Bledsoe totaled 29 points, seven rebounds and six assists and went 11 of 12 from the free-throw line in the loss. The Suns hit 17 of 36 from beyond the arc, but they converted only 33.3 percent of their 2-point attempts while being outscored 44-22 in the paint.

"We have to shoot better than that in the paint if we want to win," Hornacek said.

That was the second straight win for the Pelicans (3-11) who also claimed a 14-point win over the Spurs on Friday.

Davis also had 19 rebounds and hit the go-ahead 3-pointer in the final minute of Sunday's victory. He's averaging an NBA-best 9.8 points in the fourth quarter while shooting 64.4 percent.

"He invites those situations," coach Alvin Gentry said. "I like the fact that he wanted the ball in crunch time. As I've said all along, I think we're going to be a good team. We've made some progress. Obviously we've got a long, long way to go, but I do like the intensity that we're playing with."

Davis, who has missed three games due to injuries, is averaging 31.2 points and 3.0 blocks over the last four games in which he's played at least 20 minutes.

Anderson is also playing extremely well, averaging 28.3 points on 55.8 percent shooting over his last four contests while going 15 for 32 from 3-point range.

New Orleans is 0-7 on the road, joining Philadelphia as the league's only other club without a win away from home.

This is the first of two straight home games for the Suns before they embark on a season-high six-game trip. They host first-place Golden State on Friday.

Phoenix has last four of its last five home games against the Pelicans.
