Davis questionable to return after bruising his right knee

Anthony Davis has been playing superbly this season, but he should be up for quite the battle with Paul Millsap and Dwight Howard.

With Dwight Howard and Anthony Davis, the Hawks-Pelicans matchup will feature two of the most dominant big men in the National Basketball Association. Uh, not so fast.

When the Pelicans defeated the Sacramento Kings on April 3, 2015, marking the last time they won a fourth straight game, Eric Gordon was the high scorer, with 21 points. While Davis has done well to avoid the injury bug for the most part thus far, missing only one of the Pelicans’ 16 games, his tendency to accumulate bumps and bruises could lead to some future absences down the road, giving him more risk than some of the other top-flight fantasy options. At the moment, he insists that his focus is on the team’s performance this season. They trailed by 30-plus points for most of the second half.

The Pelicans play at Atlanta on Tuesday night. Because of that talent gap (Holiday notwithstanding), The Brow carries the lion’s share of the load.

LOS ANGELES – Nick Young’s 3-point bucket with five seconds left was the game-winner, boosting Los Angeles past Oklahoma City.

Gentry said before the game that Jones was sick earlier in the day and didn’t know how much he’d be able to play.

“I think some games we’ve just missed open shots”. He is shaping up to be the biggest free agent steal of the offseason, but damn, wouldn’t it have been nice if the front office had tied him up for multiple years? He started the 4th quarter even if the Pelicans have a 24-point lead against the Hawks. As evidenced by the shot chart below, Davis’ average shot distance has increased every season. Essentially, both are jump-shooting teams that haven’t shot well. Minnesota struggled with shooting as a team, hitting only 38 percent (33 of 86).

“It just shows you can never let your guard down”, Minnesota coach Tom Thibodeau said. Playoff experiences will also help a lot in the growth of Davis as a player. “I though he played a really good game”. “That’s just not good enough defense”. On Tuesday, the Hawks will take on the Pelicans, as reported by ESPN.

In the first quarter, Atlanta shot six-of-23 from the field and scored 14 points.

Still, the Pelicans’ turnaround doesn’t happen without Davis’ climb to another stratosphere this season. That’s the bottom line. I have to lead this team and make sure my guys are always happy and high energy. Jimmy Butler had 25 points in a losing cause. After realizing that Davis was in position to dunk, Holiday lofted the ball towards his big man. Davis decided that the best course of action was to snag the ball out of the air with one hand like it was nothing and throw down a thunderous jam.

Overall, the Atlanta Hawks are 11 in scoring at 105.8 ppg and 8 in points allowed at 98.8 ppg.
