PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns hope to extend their winning streak to four games when the New Orleans Pelicans visit Footprint Center.

Suns coach Frank Vogel will utilize the following starting lineup:

Bradley Beal
Devin Booker
Grayson Allen
Kevin Durant
Jusuf Nurkic

Phoenix has won their last seven-of-nine entering tonight's matchup. The Suns are looking to avoid the play-in tournament with the No. 6 seed currently in their possession.

In his pre-game press conference, Vogel pointed to the transition defense improving as Phoenix's momentum looks to carry a potential sweep over New Orleans, who are just one game behind the Suns in the West:

“I would say our transition defense has dramatically improved over the last few games and something that really harping on, trying to turn a weakness into a strength," Vogel said.

"I think it begins there. I think the sense of urgency and attention to detail to the gameplans we are putting in, knowing that every game matters and that this is the  playoffs before the playoffs. Every game could move us in the standing and our guys have a great attention to detail.”

The Pelicans will have Zion Williamson at their disposal after he was initially ruled questionable with a finger injury.

Vogel says Phoenix has to be even better against Williamson:

“We’ve done some good things, but we foul him too much and we’ve been late too much, so it has been good, not great and I feel like today, we have to be even better to get this win.”

Suns-Pelicans will tip just past 3:00 PM Arizona time.
