NBA Daily Notes: The Knicks finally win; Top fantasy picks for January 5th

C 1 - Anthony Davis (New Orleans Pelicans)

New Orleans Pelicans need to get wins to reach the playoff spots

The New Orleans Pelicans do not seem to be winning and going a run. They are having a start-stop season, hampered with injuries and bad form.

They are still 14th in the Western Conference, with a record of 17-22, having just won 3 of their last 10 games and losing their latest one to the Brooklyn Nets, 126-121. One man who has been their MVP this season is Anthony Davis.

Davis has been one of the other big names in the regular season MVP discussions. He has been absolutely carrying the Pelicans on his shoulders, but he has not been able to get them past the finish line every time.

He is averaging almost 29 points per game, along with 13 rebounds and 4 assists. He is an elite defender is thus averaging a more than 1 steal and almost 3 blocks a game too.

In the loss against the Nets, he managed to score 34 points, along with an absurd 26 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and a steal. The Pelicans really need him to keep performing at this rate if they want to go anywhere near the playoffs.

Alternate pick: Clint Capela (Houston Rockets)
