The Phoenix Suns ( 36 - 33 ) held off the New Orleans Pelicans ( 37 - 31 ) on Thursday at the US Airways Center by a score of 74 - 72 . Anthony Davis ' absence was certainly apparent Thursday after the rising super star was scratched from the lineup with a sprained ankle suffered during the morning shootaround . As a result , Phoenix 's Brandan Wright had free reign of the paint all night , finishing with seven blocks and eight rebounds . Omer Asik 's departure due to a calf injury did n't help the Pelicans ' cause either as the Suns out - rebounded them by 12 . It was a sloppy game on the offensive end as well with neither team shooting above 40 percent from the field . The Suns were able to come away with the win in the end after Tyreke Evans ' jumper with time running out did n't fall . These two teams are battling for the final playoff spot in the West and will have a pivotal meeting on April 10 to decide the season series . New Orleans ' last two games have been decided by a grand total of three points as they are now a full game behind Oklahoma City in the Western Conference . Asik and Davis were n't the only injured Pelicans on Thursday ; Tyreke Evans was noticeably playing through pain in his left ankle , but gritted out 35 minutes of time on the floor . The Pelicans do n't have much time to nurse their wounds with a matchup with the Warriors on the slate for Friday . It 's unclear whether Anthony Davis or Omer Asik will be available for that contest . Phoenix finished its five - game homestand with a 3 - 2 mark after getting a big win Thursday . Brandon Knight , Alex Len , and Marcus Thornton were all sidelined with injuries , but Markieff Morriss and Brandan Wright helped the Suns get the win . The Suns will travel to Houston to take on the Rockets on Saturday before kicking off a four - game homestand on Sunday against Dallas . That homestand is critical for the Suns , who will be on the road for seven of its final eight games .
