The New Orleans Pelicans ( 16 - 27 ) won for the fifth time in six games Saturday with a 116 - 99 victory against the Milwaukee Bucks ( 19 - 27 ) . New Orleans , last season 's Western Conference eighth seed , has been slowly climbing out of the bottom of the standings since the start of the New Year . The win over Milwaukee puts the Pelicans just three games behind the Sacramento Kings in the conference playoff race . Per usual , the Pels owed a large portion of their success on Saturday to the play of superstar Anthony Davis . The fourth - year power forward failed to repeat his starting All-Star honors this season , but has quietly been averaging a double - double with 23 points per game . Davis 's game was nothing short of the ordinary on Saturday , as he posted 22 points while pulling down seven rebounds , dishing out five assists , and blocking four shots . It was forward Ryan Anderson , however , who led the team in scoring with 23 points while coming off the bench . Anderson converted an impressive 6 of 11 shots from beyond the three - point line . The Bucks are now facing a two - game slide after finally seeing a three - game stretch of good luck . Milwaukee currently sits at last in the central division and thirteenth in the Eastern Conference , just one year after a surprising appearance in the playoffs . The Bucks held advantages in rebounding , field - goal shooting , and free - throw shooting over the Pelicans , but were still blown out in large part due to an 18 - 8 disadvantage in the turnover department . Perimeter defense also posed a problem for the Bucks , as New Orleans went an impressive 17 for 31 from beyond the arc . Milwaukee will have two days of rest before hosting the Orlando Magic on Tuesday . New Orleans , meanwhile , will continue their homestand on Monday as they face the Houston Rockets at Smoothie King Center .
