Matchup to Watch

Anthony Davis vs. Josh McRoberts: As expected, Davis is a 20-10 guy on a nightly basis. Davis clobbered the Bobcats in the second game of the season in New Orleans.

Observations

• The Bobcats are in a challenging stretch of four games in five nights. They were off Thursday after back-to-back victories over the Detroit Pistons.



• Ex-Bobcat

Alexis Ajinca

is back in the NBA and starting for the Pelicans. He never accomplished anything in Charlotte after the Bobcats acquired an extra first-round pick in the 2008 draft to choose him.



Tap-ins

• Point guard

Jrue Holiday

, the Pelicans’ big offseason acquisition, is out with a stress fracture.



• 

Ryan Anderson

, so good at stretching defenses at the power forward spot, is out with a herniated disc.



Did you know?

The Bobcats are three wins away from matching the victory total for the past two seasons combined (28).

Anthony Davis’ comments about being willing to sign long-term with the Boston Celtics stole the show Saturday at NBA All-Star media day, but from Colin Kaepernick to a bet between Seth and Steph Curry, there was much more to discuss.
