6 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans power forward/center Anthony Davis (hip) will not be able to go against the Wizards on Saturday night. The 6-foot-10 big man suffered a right hip strain when he fell to the floor after shooting a jumper in the third quarter on Friday night. While the 25-year-old was able to return to the game, he didn't like over the final three minutes of the contest. Julius Randle will start in Davis' place and makes a good DFS play. Cheick Diallo and/or Jahlil Okafor could see a bump in minutes. Both Diallo and Okafor have played sparingly this season, although Diallo appears to have the upper hand as the team's fourth big man.--Daniel Benjamin
