The Pelicans were without their perennial All-Star, Anthony Davis in this game and they needed everything they could get from their point guard, Jrue Holiday. To no one's surprise, he did go off scoring 27 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, to go along with 3 steals, on a very impressive 10-for-18 shooting.

He used his vision to perfection to involve his teammates and performed exceptionally well. Even though the Pelicans have been struggling all season long to register wins, Jrue has been playing at an elite level and even though he is struggling shooting from behind the arc, he is doing a great job of finding ways to score.

The 2013 All-Star is averaging career-high numbers in across all the statistical categories and with the Pelicans almost out of playoffs contention, it will be interesting to see how he approaches the remainder of the season.
