Pelicans reportedly plan to reduce Anthony Davis' playing time
New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis is expected to see reduced usage over the remainder of the season, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
"Here’s what to expect with Anthony Davis’ usage the rest of way with Pelicans: Fewer, if any, back-to-backs and a reduction in minutes from his 37 per game," Woj tweets. The only reason the Pelicans aren't shutting Davis down completely is to appease the league office, so this isn't surprising. Jahlil Okafor and Julius Randle stand to be the primary beneficiaries from Davis' restrictions.
Davis is averaging 61.2 FanDuel points in 41 games. numberFire's models expect him to record 27.4 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals, 2.0 blocks, and 0.9 triples per contest over the remainder of the year.
