Davis scored 24 points, snared 13 rebounds and blocked three shots to lead the Pelicans to a 100-91 win.

The 21-year-old has now logged a double-double in three of New Orleans' four games this season, including a 26-point, 17-rebound, nine-block effort in a season-opening win over the Magic.

The Pelicans (2-2) get three days of rest before facing the Spurs in San Antonio on Saturday.
