Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins are out on Saturday for New Orleans
New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis (left knee soreness), center DeMarcus Cousins (Achilles) and guard E'Twaun Moore (ankle) have been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors.
What It Means:
The Pelicans are coming off a back to back and with nothing to play for, they will sit down their top two big men. Without Cousins and Davis in the lineup, Dante Cunningham, Donatas Motiejunas and Cheick Diallo should all see a big boost in playing time.
With both starting big men out, our models project Motiejunas as the best Pelicans value play with 11.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks over 31.6 minutes on Saturday.
