The New Orleans Pelicans ( 33 - 28 ) made the most of Anthony Davis ' return Wednesay with an 88 - 85 victory over the Detroit Pistons ( 23 - 37 ) at the Smoothie King Center . Anthony Davis had been out since Feb. 21 after re - injuring his shoulder against Miami , but came back in a big way Wednesday . Davis made his presence felt with 39 points , 13 rebounds , and a remarkable eight blocks . The Pistons made a late run , tying the game at 81 with just over a minute to go , but Anthony Davis and Tyreke Evans made the difference for the Pelicans . New Orleans had a great run in Davis ' absence , winning five out of six games without its young super star . The Pelicans continue to battle for the eighth seed in the West , with the Thunder and Suns all vying for that final spot . Alexis Ajinca had his second - straight double - double off the bench Wednesday with 10 points and 11 rebounds . The Pelicans will return to action Friday when they host the Celtics . Detroit was coming off extended rest Wednesday , having last played Saturday against Washington . The rest did n't translate to a favorable result , however , as the Pistons dropped their fourth straigh game . The current losing streak makes Detroit 's playoff chances tenable at best as Indiana , Brooklyn , and Boston are all ahead of the Pistons . The Pistons will look to snap their losing skid Friday in Houston .
