The Pens' top player questionable

  • Published:

A lot will depend on whether Anthony Davis plays or not. Even without him, the Pens have enough weapons to stand up to the visitors from Florida, who lost 8 out of the last 9 games

The Pens can be happy with the current situation given how the first month of the season went for them. It's very clear that they will have to get their game up if they want to reach playoffs. The Pens sit in 11th spot in the West, two and a half wins short of the Blazers. Players' health will be crucial in that entire process and that hasn't been at the best level in the last few seasons or at the start of this one. 

The Pens have just had a road trip to the East which they opened with a close defeat to Boston, went on to beat New York and Brooklyn and then had two tougher tests. They managed to stay close until the very end in Chicago, just like against the Pacers, who ended up beating them 98-95. 

- We put ourselves in a position to win the game but we simply couldn't get the point when it was necessary. We had some good chances, Evans did well, Moore and Holiday too. Those are the kind of shots you want down the stretch but it just didn't work out this time - Alvin Gentry said.

Apart from the game, the Pens lost Alvin Gentry as well to a hip and thumb injury. Luckily, there is no structural damage. He is officially questionable but he will most likely not play today.

- I don't know anything yet. We'll make the final decision after talking to doctors - coach Gentry said.

The last time Davis couldn't play, coach Gentry sent Holiday, Buddy Hield, Solomon Hill, Terrence Jones and Omer Asik on the floor. Evans did particularly well to hit 28 points, while Jones and Holiday added 24 and 21 respectfully, for a win over the Nets.

Davis' absence would increase Orlando's chances massively. They lost 8 out of the last 9 games. Frank Vogel's team did particularly bad on Monday when they lost 125-112 in Denver. The final score does not show how much of a better team the Nuggets were. 

- We're dropping spots in the table. We need to record a win. It doesn't matter where or against whom - coach Vogel said. 

Evan Fournier's absence was best taken advantage of by Payton who averaged 22,3 points, 5,6 rebounds and 9,3 assists. The Frenchman is questionable, just like Biyombo, whose chances to play are a bit better than Fournier's.

The team from Florida can built optimism on the fact they beat the Pens 4 times in a row, including the 89-92 home win from early November. We need to take into consideration the fact Evans, Davis and Holiday weren't there.
