Judging from the current situation, the situation in the west has changed, and the 2rd and 4th are in charge. Only the 1st Sun encountered a greater challenge. Booker is out for at least two weeks, absent from this series with the Pelicans, so whether Paul can lead the team to avoid the Black 8 becomes a point of view. The Pelicans are not without hope of qualifying, as long as Ingram and McCollum play steadily, the Pelicans back at home may still have the potential to beat the Suns, and it will be more difficult for the Suns to fall behind.
