The Suns have allowed averages of 111.3 points and 52.3 percent from the field.
"Defensively, the last three games we've given up 115, 114 and 109 points to teams that usually average 94," coach Jeff Hornacek said following Wednesday's 109-86 loss to lowly Utah. "We're a fast-breaking team that relies on getting stops and getting steals. When we don't do that, we struggle."
Dragic, who leads the team with 20.2 points and 6.2 assists per game, was greatly missed Wednesday as Phoenix matched its lowest point total of the season and shot 38.8 percent. The Suns' 14 assists were two off a season low and their 15 fast-break points were their fewest since the break, according to ESPN.com.
Anthony Davis will be a game-time decision for Friday because of a shoulder injury. Davis was held to a combined 10-of-27 shooting for 31 points in those defeats, both in November, but did not return in the last game.
"When you play as hard as AD and these guys who go after it every single night, they're going to have bumps and bruises," coach Monty Williams said. "It could be nothing. It could be a day-to-day thing. We've got to let the doctors do their deal."
If Davis is unable to play, he will join fellow Pelicans starters Ryan Anderson and Jrue Holiday on the sidelines because of injuries.
"It's difficult, but guys have been in and out all year," said Eric Gordon, who had 19 points Wednesday. "We've just got to keep on adjusting."
