Anthony Davis struggled mightily in the first half against the Utah Jazz. In the first 7:42, all without Jrue Holiday, Davis shot a poor 2-7 from the field. This continues an ongoing problem with Holiday's move to the bench (beginning December 4th); Davis has an eFG% of 59.9% after receiving a pass from Holiday in that span while posting a far less impressive 48.7% on other occasions.
After Eric Gordon broke his ring finger (again) Holiday found himself in the "starting lineup" to begin the third quarter. Davis, as expected, relished the time beside the New Orleans Pelicans second best player.
