New Orleans Pelicans power forward Anthony Davis is back in the lineup for Friday's showdown with the reeling Portland Trail Blazers.
Friday will also feature the season debut of Jrue Holiday.
Davis sat out New Orleans' last game on account of a quad contusion. The injury-prone big man has otherwise remained healthy through the early months of the season.
The three-time All-Star has enjoyed tremendous individual success to start the year as he's posting career highs in points (30.5), rebounds (11.3), and steals (2.1), while leading the league in blocks (2.9).
The Pelicans, however, have ruined his best efforts by stumbling to a 2-10 start.
