Since the Anthony Davis era began, the New Orleans Pelicans have owned the Detroit Pistons — even when AD sits.
Overall, the Pelicans are 12-1 against the Pistons since the start of the 2012-13 season, including a perfect 2-0 when Davis has missed the matchup. With AD out of the lineup for a second consecutive game, can New Orleans make it 3-0 after tonight?
If so, they’ll have to do it with a laboring E’Twaun Moore. The Pelicans usual starter at small forward is banged up and will see limited action per head coach Alvin Gentry.
