The Suns try for their second win against the Pelicans tonight. Dragic is still experiencing a sore ankle so his chances of playing tonight is uncertain. Game time is set for 6PM Arizona time.

Paul Coro gives the starting lineups and more in an article at azcentral dated 11-10-13. See link below.

Pelicans (3-3) at Suns (4-2) … 6 p.m. Phoenix tip

C: Anthony Davis… Miles Plumlee

PF: Jason Smith … Channing Frye

SF: Al-Farouq Aminu … P.J. Tucker

SG: Eric Gordon … Goran Dragic or Gerald Green

PG: Jrue Holiday … Eric Bledsoe

Key Pelicans injuries: Ryan Anderson (toe) is doubtful.

Key Pelicans reserves: Tyreke Evans, Anthony Morrow, Greg Stiemsma, Brian Roberts, Lance Thomas.

Dragic is in uniform but he will not start. This is encouraging, however, I do not want to see him rushed back.

Green winds up and dunks the ball. Showtime.

Good to see Dragic back. Looking forward to see him with Bledsoe again. The functioning of this combo could make a huge difference to the Suns' success and personnel decisions.

Since the Pacers are never going to lose a game, it's good the Suns got Green and Plumlee in addition to a first round pick for Scola.

Oh they'll lose a game eventually. They have to play us some time and you can't stop the Plumlee.:)

Channing seems to be more aware of the ball on defense than I can ever remember. He must have deflected a half dozen passes so far tonight.

Bad decision by Green. Very few players can reset and make that three like that.

Markieff continues to prove the doubters (me) wrong.

And he continues to prove his supporters (me and ???) correct. Okay, that's not really the truth. He continues to prove me less wrong than some of you guys. I was one of his biggest supporters but I had reached the point where I thought his ceiling was in the neighborhood of decent. He's played well above that level for the past week. It's still not enough to start his HOF campaign but I think he's showing us all that he can be effective even against quality opponents.

Anthony Davis is a great young player... But he needs to shave his unibrow before I can take him seriously

Yeah, that look is just not a "look". I'd take him on the Suns,unibrow and all but I'd buy that young man a mirror and make him look into it daily.

Looking at Markieff:

"You! What are you doing? Didn't I tell you, that you were a burden on both ends of the floor?! That you have no place amongst the Suns?! I have never been so wrong in my life."

Seriously, how can a person turn it around so dramatically in just one year like Keef has? Holy crap it's amazing!!!

I LOVE this team!

The problem is, that I would love to see them get a top 5 pick, as well. Imagine having a genuine, developing superstar with this squad!

Gerald Green is fun to watch.

So glad we got Bledsoe and Green and Plumlee.

Look what a difference playing on a fast paced team can make to run and gun athletes like Green and Plumlee compared to being stuck on a slow Indiana team.

Draft might be deep enough for the Suns to find an impact player even if the pick ends up being between 10 and 15.

The Suns were not supposed to be this good. It is beginning to look more and more like that it is not a fluke. Or when does the bottom drop out?
