NEW ORLEANS -- The 2/3 New Orleans Pelicans enter Saturday night's game against the 3-2 Cleveland Cavaliers following a successful 2-1 road trip and a stunning 41-point, 23-rebound performance by Pelicans center DeMarcus Cousins in a 114-106 victory over Sacramento on Thursday.
The Pelicans also hope to have Anthony Davis back in the starting lineup after he tweaked his left knee and quad early in a Tuesday night loss to Portland and sat out the victory over Sacramento.
The Cavaliers are trying to get their new-look lineup in sync after showing some defensive lapses in allowing 112.
