Paced by Anthony Davis, the New Orleans Pelicans began their current stretch of success with another victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves earlier this month.
Though the All-Star landed awkwardly on his knee in the Pelicans' most recent triumph, Davis seems ready to help them try for an eighth consecutive victory over the visiting Timberwolves on Saturday night.
The Pelicans organization and its fans received a scare Thursday as Davis laid on the ground grabbing his left knee after leaping to block Oklahoma City guard Russell Westbrook's layup attempt late in the fourth quarter.
