The New Orleans Pelicans ( 43 - 36 ) defeated the Phoenix Suns ( 39 - 41 ) 90 - 75 on Friday in New Orleans . It was n't pretty , but the Pelicans were still able to pull out a much - needed win as the regular season winds down . Anthony Davis left the game in the second quarter after suffering a throat contusion and missed nearly half the game before returning . Despite the injury , Davis was still able to post 19 points ( 7 - 12 FG , 5 - 11 FT ) , nine rebounds and four assists in 23 minutes . Omar Asik made up for the rebounding hole Davis left when he was out of the game , as he grabbed 18 rebounds in just 22 minutes , but only managed to score 3 points . Eric Gordon and Tyreke Evans each shot 6 - of - 14 from the field and scored 15 and 14 points respectively . Dante Cunningham had a solid outing off the bench , shooting 6 - of - 8 from the field en route to 12 points and nine rebounds in 31 minutes . Norris Cole ( 12 ) was the only other New Orleans player to score in double figures . The victory keeps the Pelicans ' playoff hopes alive , as they are currently tied for , and hold the tiebreaker over , the Oklahoma City Thunder for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference . Contrarily , the Phoenix Suns have been officially eliminated from playoff contention and do n't have much to play for as the regular season comes close to its end . Eric Bledsoe has had a rough final stretch of the season , but managed 19 points ( 7 - 19 FG , 2 - 6 3Pt ) and seven assists in 39 minutes . Markieff Morris posted a double - double of 12 points ( 5 - 12 FG ) and 11 rebounds in 29 minutes , while P.J . Tucker was the third and final Sun to score in double figures , scoring 12 points in 33 minutes . Up next , the Pelicans will travel to Houston for a tough matchup with the Rockets on Sunday , while Suns head to San Antonio Sunday to take on the Spurs .
