Pelicans (27-40), Trail Blazers (29-37)
The combination of Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins has been at the forefront of analysis related to the New Orleans Pelicans ever since Cousins was acquired last month. On Tuesday, whether they joined forces at the same time, or only one was on the floor, the results were outstanding.
In only 29 minutes of work – and despite an ankle sprain that caused him to miss the latter portion of the second quarter – Davis posted 15 points and 15 rebounds. Meanwhile, fellow perennial All-Star big Cousins went for 22 points and nine rebounds.
