The New Orleans Pelicans are riding a wave of enthusiasm unlike anything we’ve seen in the Crescent City since possibly dating back to the Chris Paul MVP race of 2008.
Fresh off of a ten game winning streak, however, the Pelicans’ current MVP candidate, Anthony Davis, is a question mark for Friday’s game, having severely sprained his ankle under the foot of Kosta Koufos in the Pelicans’ Wednesday night win over Sacramento. This, after bruising his ribs the night before in Los Angeles. Woj reports him as doubtful to play against the Washington Wizards.
