The Anthony Davis effect is in full swing. After three years toiling in relative anonymity the New Orleans Pelicans superstar is coming to national television at a breakneck pace. In those first three seasons the Pelicans appeared just seven total nationally televised (on TNT or ESPN, not counting NBA TV broadcasts) games. That number is increasing dramatically to 13 games this season; five on TNT and eight on ESPN.
It all begins on opening night, where the Pelicans will hope to spoil the party as the Golden State Warriors raise their 2015 Championship banner on October 27th in the Oracle Arena.
