Jrue Holiday has cooled off from his hot start, shooting 33 percent with an offensive rating of 82 in both of the Pelicans’ last two games (both losses). There was a claimed Buddy Hield sighting in the team’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The rookie scored 16 points in 15 minutes and hit four out of seven 3s in his return to the state where he became a flamethrower from behind the arc.

The Pelicans can’t survive any type of absence from Davis, and Davis is getting close to getting labeled as injury-prone.
