The New Orleans Pelicans have been the NBA’s highest-scoring team since November 16, which is when three-point phenom Ryan Anderson made his season debut after missing the first nine games with a broken toe.
The Pelicans' scoreboard success since Anderson's return is not a coincidence. He's notched two 30-plus point games in the month of December. Anderson is ranked 11th in the NBA in overall scoring and 2nd in the league from beyond the arc, shooting 52.9%.
Anderson is now replacing the injured Anthony Davis in the starting lineup for New Orleans, so these totals may grow along with Anderson's minutes.
