Tyreke Evans, who played his first game of the season in mid - December after recovering from a knee injury, is finally starting to get back into the swing of things. Following his performance Wednesday night of 18 points, five assists and four rebounds in just 20 minutes, Evans has now scored in double figures in five straight contests, which included a brilliant 29 - point performance against the Nets last Thursday. He has, however, remained limited as of late, as he has played just 21 minutes per game over the course of January. After battling injuries all throughout the start of the season, this may be the healthiest the team has been all year, and if Evans can continue his return to form, New Orleans could continue to be competitive in the Western Conference over the second half of the season.
