Anthony Davis and his krewe are coming into this one at a disappointing 14-21 overall and 4-11 on the road, although they are 8-3 against Eastern Conference teams and have the aforementioned Anthony Davis, who comes into the game 2nd in the league in scoring at 29.2 points per game.<\/p>\n<p>Things to look for:<\/p>\n<p>Anthony Davis is going to be a test for the Cavs&#8217; undersized frontline &#8212; we&#8217;ll see how this goes. As long as the Cavs can make him work at both ends of the floor, I don&#8217;t mind if he ends up with a big game on the box score. It&#8217;s all you can do against players like him sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>Kyrie\u00a0out again tonight, with McRae again getting the start. I&#8217;m suspicious, but he made the most of his previous opportunity to start, so let&#8217;s hope he can keep it going.<\/p>\n<p>Good chance we&#8217;ll see some Kay Felder tonight, as he&#8217;s also coming off his best game of the season. There are minutes to be had in this rotation, and if a young guy could snatch them up it would be great. (It would be better if Felder got them, but McCrae has earned a game of my patience.)<\/p>\n<p>Looking for Shump to get back on track a bit &#8212; I love you, Richard Jefferson, but I&#8217;m not ready for months of you as the second-best wing on the team.<\/p>\n<p>Alright, let&#8217;s stay undefeated in 2017. See y&#8217;all tonight for the recap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alrighty folks, it&#8217;s the Pelicans at the Q on this Monday night.
