Anthony Davis is on a roll and so are the New Orleans Pelicans.
Davis scored 43 and 40 points in victories against New York and Denver, respectively, to start the Pelicans home-stand, which concludes against San Antonio on Monday night. New Orleans won both of those games and has won five of its last six.
The All-NBA forward needed just 10 field goals to get to 40 points in a 125-110 victory against the Nuggets on Saturday because he made 20 of 21 free throws,
"It's pretty hard to stop him, especially when he gets in a groove like that," Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday said.
