The New Orleans Pelicans (12 - 12) defeated the Utah Jazz (6 - 19) 119 - 111 on Tuesday. New Orleans got their All-Star back Tuesday with Anthony Davis returning to the lineup after missing most of the previous two games. Davis was sitting out with a chest contusion suffered in the first half of Friday's 119 - 114 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was outfitted with a protective vest and finished with 31 points and nine rebounds in 35 minutes. Despite moving back to a bench role, Ryan Anderson put up 28 points in 27 minutes. Utah has lost three straight games, and in their last two games, they were playing without Derrick Favors, whom remains sidelined with a sprained ankle. Rudy Gobert has filled in as the starting center in Favors' absence, and on Tuesday, Gobert put up nine rebounds and three blocks in 33 minutes. Enes Kanter led the way for the Jazz, putting up 39 points in 36 minutes. Dante Exum scored a career - high 12 points off the bench. New Orleans will go on the road to Houston to take on the Rockets on Thursday. The Jazz will continue their road trip in Miami on Wednesday against the Heat.
