The New Orleans Pelicans (10-7) unleashed a 140-126 drubbing against the visiting San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, with five members of the team boasting double-digit scoring in the rout. Anthony Davis once again led the charge with 29 points and nine rebounds to his credit, shooting 11-of-22 from the field in the process. E'Twaun Moore contributed 24 points, four assists and three rebounds, shooting 11-of-16 from the paint, while Jrue Holiday posted 21 points and nine assists in a starting role, pulling up short of a double-double. But it was Julius Randle who turned heads in the win, logging a triple-double, the sixth of his career, off the bench with 21 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists. The Pelicans own the second-most potent offense in the league, behind only the Milwaukee Bucks, dropping a nightly average of 119.5 points on opponents. The team's current road trip will wrap up on Friday night with a visit to the New York Knicks.

Like their opponents on Wednesday, the Philadelphia 76ers (12-7) have also won three straight games, and are undefeated on home court after a 119-114 victory over the visiting Phoenix Suns on Monday night. Joel Embiid once again exploded on both ends of the floor with a team-high 33 points and 17 rebounds, shooting 9-of-12 from the charity stripe but missing all five of his shot attempts from downtown. Ben Simmons and Mike Muscala each recorded 19 points, with Simmons adding 11 rebounds for the double-double and Muscala making all but two off his shot attempts from the foul line in a reserve capacity. In only seven minutes of floor time, Markelle Fultz once again struggled to maintain any momentum, finishing 0-of-2 from the field and sparking rumors on Tuesday that he will no longer be attending team practices pending counsel from his legal team. Philly remains in fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
