Match Preview: Phoenix Suns vs New Orleans Pelicans
The Phoenix Suns will face the New Orleans Pelicans on 24th April 2022, in what will be the 4th game of their ongoing 1st round series in the Western Conference Playoffs.
Phoenix currently leads the series 2-1, as they will look to take a big step towards closing the series in game 4. The Pelicans, on the other hand, will look to bounce back and level up the series at their home court.
Suns:
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Devin Booker | SG | Thu, Apr 21 | Hamstring | Expected to be out until at least Apr 30 |
| Dario Saric | PF | Sun, Apr 3 | Knee | Expected to be out until at least Jun 1 |
Pelicans:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zion Williamson | PF | Sun, Apr 17 | Foot | Expected to be out until at least May 1 |
| Kira Lewis Jr. | PG | Thu, Dec 9 | Knee | Out for the season |
With Devin Booker out injured, all the pressure will be on CP3 to lead his team, just like he did in the last game.
Ingram has played quite well throughout this playoff run for the Pelicans, and he will look to step up once again and lead his team to a win.
The Pelicans will be hungry for a win, as they would like to level up the series at 2-2 on their home court.
