New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis is coming off one of his worst games of the season. Philadelphia 76ers rookie center/forward Joel Embiid is coming off his best.The two big men square off Tuesday night, when the Pelicans (9-20) close out a three-game road trip against the Sixers (7-20) in Philadelphia.Davis, the NBAs second-leading scorer (29.6), managed 12 points in Sundays 113-100 loss in San Antonio. It was his second-lowest total of the season, and came two days after he was limited to 22 minutes by a left lower-leg contusion in a 122-100 loss in Houston. He scored 17 points in that one.Embiid, meanwhile, piled up a career-high 33 points in Sundays 108-107 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, and added 10 rebounds and three blocked shots.For the first time, all over, he wanted to dominate the game, coach Brett Brown said.Embiid said he was feeling the effects of a head cold before the game, but he nonetheless made 12 of 17 shots from the floor and added 10 rebounds and three blocked shots. His 3-pointer with 2:43 left put the Sixers ahead to stay, as they snapped an eight-game home losing streak.Philadelphia has, however, won just three times in its last 13 games.There is also some intrigue with the Sixers, as Brown announced before Sundays game that center/forward Nerlens Noel will not be part of the teams frontcourt rotation for the foreseeable future. Noel missed the seasons first 23 games following minor knee surgery, then sprained his left ankle upon returning last Sunday in Detroit.That caused him to miss last Wednesdays loss to Toronto, and he saw only eight minutes of court time in Fridays loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Afterward he complained about his role, as well as the fact that management has failed to alleviate the teams logjam at center. Noel, Embiid and Jahlil Okafor, all highly drafted players in recent years, are all best suited to playing that positionBrown, however, is now starting Embiid and Okafor in tandem, then alternating the two of them at center. The coach believes that trying to find minutes for Noel disrupts the balance and flow of the Eastern Conferences worst team.On Monday general manager Bryan Colangelo told reporters that Brown didnt mean Nerlens wouldnt play at all, though Brown did say Noel would only see the court if someone gets in foul trouble or something of that nature.Were trying to determine if (Noel) is a fit for this roster, Colangelo told reporters.Colangelo also said there is considerable interest in Noel throughout the league, but also trepidation about trading for him, since he has barely played. Colangelo went on to say that he doesnt feel he has to make a deal before the end of this season.Embiid managed 14 points on 5-of-15 shooting in the Sixers 99-88 victory over the Pelicans on Dec. 4 in New Orleans. He also contributed seven rebounds.Davis had 26 points and 11 boards for New Orleans that night, but shot just 8 for 21 from the floor.He was also limited to two points on 1-of-7 shooting after the first quarter of Sundays loss in San Antonio. He missed seven of 12 shots in all.The Pelicans other top scorers this season are ex-Sixer Jrue Holiday (14.6) and Tim Frazier (10.9).New Orleans forward Dante Cunningham returned Sunday after missing the previous 12 games with a fractured right fibula. Solomon Hill is not with the team because of the birth of a child, and Quincy Pondexter (knee) is out.

Lewis Hamilton feels his recent performances are proof he is back to the top of his game after recording four wins in five races.After wrapping up a third world title with a win at Octobers U.S. Grand Prix, Hamilton had to wait until the sixth race of this year to return to the top step at Monaco.

I definitely think ... last year I was driving exceptionally well. The end of the year was obviously more chilled, but I definitely feel this race and the last race, I feel like the fire is fully lit. So, I am firing on all cylinders and hoopefully this will continue.ddddddddddddHamilton hopes to replicate the way he prepared for the British Grand Prix at every weekend for the rest of 2016.I am really, really happy because it is so easy to come into the weekend with the wrong energy, whether it be nerves or if you listen to all the negativity surrounding coming in. But to come in feeling fresh and powerful, feeling strong and confident, and deliver is what I plan to do every weekend and what you hope to have.[It has been] the best week of the year, without doubt. From Monday and Tuesday, I had an amazing time, was relaxed and then work was good on Wednesday and then Thursday was amazing seeing the crowd here and then following that practice, long runs, everything, was just solid, solid, solid. So I would say it is definitely one of the most solid weekends I have had. ' ' '
