(SportsNetwork.com) - Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans will pay a visit to the Atlanta Hawks Friday night at Philips Arena. Davis is second in the NBA in scoring with 25.4 points per game and is pulling down 11.2 rebounds, both team highs. He is listed as questionable Friday with an illness. The Pelicans have alternated results over the previous six games and dropped a 99-89 decision to the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. Davis had 14 points and nine rebounds, while Tyreke Evans and Ryan Anderson scored 22 and 20 points, respectively, for New Orleans. We just didnt play any kind of team basketball tonight, Pelicans coach Monty Williams said. They just outplayed us. Sacramento was led by 22 points from DeMarcus Cousins and Omri Casspi, and shot 48.1 percent. The Hawks had a two-game winning streak stopped with Wednesdays 126-115 setback to the Toronto Raptors in the opener of a four-game homestand. DeMar DeRozan scored 27 points and Kyle Lowry deposited 14 with 13 assists for the Eastern Conference-leading Raptors. Jeff Teague scored 24 points and handed out 12 assists, Al Horford chipped in 23 points and nine rebounds, Kyle Korver sank four 3-pointers en route to 19 points. They just made plays, said Teague, who is averaging 25.8 points over the last four games. Made some tough shots. Got some key offensive rebounds. The Hawks shot 51.2 percent and were outscored, 35-27, in the fourth quarter. They sit fifth in the NBA with a 46.6 field goal percentage and are 5-2 at Philips Arena. Atlanta will also host Charlotte and Boston on the homestand, and lost both matchups with New Orleans last season. The Pelicans are 10-5 in the last 15 meetings against the Hawks, losers in three straight at home in this series.

Rookie goalie Frederik Andersen won his sixth straight game to start his NHL career, making 35 saves in place of ailing Jonas Hiller, and the league-leading Ducks extended their winning streak to five with a 3-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday night. "If you look around this room, weve got a lot of new faces," Perry said. "But theres a lot of guys in here with a lot of character that want to win and prove that they belong here and go out there every night working as hard as they can. Theyre playing every game like its their last. And if we keep doing that, were going to be successful." Perry had a goal and an assist, Nick Bonino got the go-ahead goal in the final minute of the second period and Andrew Cogliano added an empty-netter, helping Anaheim improve the NHLs best record to 15-3-1 and the best home start in franchise history to 8-0. "Its surprising, but its a nice surprise," coach Bruce Boudreau said. "The way our training camp ended, with us losing the last three games -- then losing to Colorado 6-1 in the opener -- boy, I wouldnt have thought that we would have put this kind of string together. But then they started to compete, started playing for each other and started battling for jobs." The Ducks are the leagues only undefeated team on home ice, and the first to win their first eight home games since the 2010-11 Los Angeles Kings. Anaheims 31 points through its first 19 games eclipsed the previous club mark of 30 set in that 2006-07 championship season. Andersen became the first goalie to win his first six NHL games since Damian Rhodes did it for Toronto from March 1991 to December 1993. According to a Ducks spokesman, Hiller was under the weather -- but available to play. He sat by the locker room watching the game at the end of the runway leading to the bench area. Ducks captain and leading scorer Ryan Getzlaf, who had his first career hat trick Friday night in a 6-2 victory over Buffalo, was scratched for the first time this season because of an upper-body injury. Mathieu Perreault took his place on the teams top line between Perry and Dustin Penner. "When youre missing the second-leading scorer in the league, one of the best players in the world -- and your captain -- youre always going to miss him," Boudreau said. "But I thought we did a great job of battling. The team wanted to show that we can survive injuries because weve got good depth. It gave other guys a chance to play, and they stepped up.dddddddddddd" Tom Sestito scored his first goal of the season for the Canucks, back at Honda Center for the first time since beating Anaheim 5-0 last January in the Ducks lockout-delayed home opener. "Its been a struggle the past two games here," said coach John Tortorella, whose team lost 5-1 to the Los Angeles Kings the previous night. "We know what they are as players, we know what they are as people, and they are going to be the players we know they are. They are going to bounce out of it." The Canucks have played three consecutive games without a goal or an assist from either of the Sedin twins for the first time since last January, the second week of the lockout-delayed season. "When you keep them off the scoresheet, youre probably going to win," Bonino said. "Daniel Winniks line did a great job against them, and when other guys found themselves out there against them, they were aware. But you cant run at them. Thats the biggest thing. They want you to come flying at them because they can spin off and make plays. So you have to play under control, but also get on them quick. We did that, and Freddie shut the door." Eddie Lack made 20 saves in his fourth NHL start, all of them on the road -- including overtime victories against Calgary and St. Louis. The 25-year-old rookie played the final 28 minutes of Saturdays game, stopping 13 of 14 shots after Roberto Luongo was pulled from a game for the first time since April 3, 2012, against the Ducks. Anaheim led 2-1 after two periods despite getting outshot 29-16. Bonino slammed his fifth goal into a wide-open net after Emerson Etem got the puck from Perry in the left circle and drew Lack out of the crease. Perry opened the scoring 8 1/2 minutes into the middle period with his 11th goal. Sestito tied it at 14:09 with his sixth goal in 77 NHL games. The Ducks were 0 for 2 on the power play. The Canucks, who came in with a league-best penalty-killing percentage of 89.1, have killed off all 22 short-handed situations over their last seven games. NOTES: Ducks assistant coach Scott Niedermayer was in Toronto on the eve of his induction into the Hall of Fame. ... Andersen became the first Ducks goalie to win his first six NHL games. Viktor Fasth, who hasnt played since Oct. 16 due to a lower-body injury, was 8-0 in his first nine appearances last season. ... Luongo is 1-5-2 with a 4.09 goals-against average in his last 10 games against Anaheim. ... The Canucks begin a six-game homestand Thursday night against San Jose. The Ducks start a four-game road trip Tuesday at Florida. Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
