Anthony Davis is not expected to play on Thursday against the Blazers due to his nagging elbow injury. Davis was able to play on Wednesday but played 41 minutes in the previous game. Davis is day-to-day right now with Julius Randle and Jahlil Okafor filling in. (Pelicans PR on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact
With Davis out, Randle, Nikola Mirotic, Jrue Holiday, and E'Twaun Moore all get a boost in DFS with Holiday the best option with both Payton and Davis out. Randle benefits the most with Davis out and should be a solid start in all lineups.
