(SportsNetwork.com) - The New Orleans Pelicans hope to have young star Anthony Davis back in the lineup Tuesday versus the Utah Jazz. Davis suffered a bruised chest in the first quarter of Fridays win over Cleveland and did not return. He then missed Sundays 128-122 overtime loss to the streaking Golden State Warriors and is questionable tonight. The talented big man is averaging 24.3 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.7 blocks. New Orleans had the Warriors, the NBAs best team, on the ropes and was outscored by a 17-11 difference in OT. Warriors guard Stephen Curry poured in 34 points and Klay Thompson added 29. Tyreke Evans and Jrue Holiday scored 34 and 30 points, respectively, in defeat and Ryan Anderson netted 15 for the Pelicans, who shot 46.5 percent and had won three of their previous four games. New Orleans shot better than 50 percent over the first three quarters, but was a combined 11-of-30 in the fourth quarter and overtime. Our guys fought their tails off tonight, we just came up short, Pelicans coach Monty Williams said. Evans is averaging 16.9 ppg and has scored 30 or more points in back-to-back games for the first time in his career. Evans tallied 31 points in the win over the Cavaliers. The Pelicans are 7-3 at home and will visit Houston next on Thursday. Utah has lost five in a row on the road and opened a nine-day, six-game trek with Sundays 93-84 setback to the Washington Wizards.

We shot ourselves in the foot. The Jazz will also visit Miami, Orlando, Charlotte and Memphis on the jaunt.
