At 2 p.m., the Atlanta Hawks head to New Orleans to face the new-look Pelicans, who are 3-0 in the preseason thanks to impressive contributions from last season's 2012 first overall pick, Anthony Davis. The Phoenix Suns visit the San Antonio Spurs for a 2:30 p.m. tip in what should be a battle of contrasting styles -- Phoenix has pushed the pace to average 117 points through two wins so far.
The Memphis Grizzlies close out the Sunday docket with a 6 p.m. game against Israel's Maccabi Haifa and will have a good shot at earning their first preseason win. The Grizzlies are 0-2 and coming off a Wednesday loss to the Dallas Mavericks, but Haifa's tour of the United States has included blowout losses to the Suns and Pistons.
