Strange but true: When New Orleans Pelicans play on Anthony Davis’ birthday, games tend to go to overtime

Today marks Anthony Davis’ 25th birthday and the New Orleans Pelicans (38-27) have a crucial home game against the Utah Jazz (36-30) as they push towards the playoffs. If Anthony Davis is good to go tonight, it will mark the 3rd straight year that he has played on his birthday. However, this will be the first year where 1) it is a home game and 2) the Pelicans have a winning record!

On March 11, 2016, the New Orleans faced the Memphis Grizzlies on the second game of a five-game road trip, coming off a loss to the Charlotte Hornets just two days prior.
