Anthony Davis has been out for the majority of the New Orleans Pelicans last two games after suffering a chest contusion just seven minutes into Friday evening’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Davis left the game and never returned and sat out Sunday’s games against the Golden State Warriors due to the pain and discomfort of the injury, but it looks like things are turning around.

Anthony Davis will play tonight vs. Jazz. — nakia hogan (@nakiahogan) December 16, 2014

That is a big for the Pelicans who seen to have found something in the absence of Davis, especially Tyreke Evans. Evans has scored over 30 points in each of the last two games by taking advantage of open space to get into the paint and finish. With Davis returning the Pelicans now possess another weapon for Evans to dump off too when he finds himself in traffic.

If Davis can return and play like his normal self tonight and Evans and Jrue Holiday continue their recent play expect the Pelicans to roll over a bad Utah Jazz team. With the Oklahoma City Thunder rapidly ascending up the standings in the Western Conference playoff race Pelicans need every win possible from here on out. With Davis getting them will be much easier.
