Davis walked slowly off the floor and into the locker room, but seemed to move easily while playing 9 minutes of the fourth.

Davis compiled 45 points (17-27 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 39 minutes in Wednesday’s 117-96 win over the Timberwolves.
The Minnesota Timberwolves travel to the Big Easy to face the New Orleans Pelicans.
36-18: New Orleans scoring advantage in the pivotal third quarter.
Coming off a winless weekend, this is not the performance that head coach Mike Budenholzer wanted to see from his Hawks squad. The Hawks had to make the tough decision to trade Teague to the Indiana Pacers because Shroder was not going to accept being a bench player forever.
The Pelicans have won four consecutive games.
They were up by 35 midway through the third on Frazier’s 3-pointer and began the fourth with a 24-point lead.
What should we be thankful for?
Buddy Hield went to New Orleans with the sixth overall pick in April’s draft. Boston allows 34.2 bench points per game which ranks 16th in the league. The Hawks are 0-3 in their last three games. The Hawks are 3-0 in the second game of back-to-backs. “It only makes you stronger in the end to be able to push through times like this”. Love’s first points of the game Wednesday night came with a hard baseline 15-foot fadeaway over Mason Plumlee.
Davis has a player option in his deal where he can become a free agent in the 2020 offseason. Buddy Hield is shooting just 38 percent from the floor and he’s not alone, with guys like Solomon Hill and Langston Galloway shooting less than 40 percent.
The New Orleans Pelicans look to stay hot after winning five of their last seven games. Buddy Hield hasn’t been the rookie that they believed they were getting and Tyreke Evans may or may not return in the next month. Zach LaVine chipped in 11 points, four assists and three rebounds. We’ll give you a pass for the 5 turnovers, Tim, cause Thanksgiving! That’s good because Buddy Hield continues to struggle. The Lakers snapped a nine-game losing streak to the Thunder. I don’t care what the record is.
He scored six points in 23 minutes. F Dante Cunningham left the game early in the second quarter. In his place, Solomon Hill did some nice things but scoring was again not one of them. However, it looks like an Anthony Davis trade is eyed by the Taj Gibson team to make their run against Eastern Conference and National Basketball Association champs Cleveland Cavaliers more legitimate.
