Their upcoming schedule includes formidable opponents such as the Oklahoma City Thunder, Memphis Grizzlies, and Milwaukee Bucks. Here’s a closer look at their current form:

 

  • Offense: Averaging 111.3 points per game on 45.8% shooting, the Jazz rely heavily on Lauri Markkanen’s 20.1 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. Collin Sexton adds 18.3 points and 2.8 rebounds.

 

  • Defense: Struggling defensively, the Jazz allow 118.1 points per game while their opponents shoot 47.7% from the field.

 

  • Key Stats: Shooting 36.1% from beyond the arc and 79% from the free-throw line, the Jazz rank among the league’s average shooters but often falter defensively.

 

 

New Orleans Pelicans Betting Preview

 

The New Orleans Pelicans, on the other hand, are riding momentum with recent victories over the Jazz and Dallas Mavericks. They face a tough slate ahead, with games against the Bucks, Grizzlies, and Hornets.

 

  • Offense: Averaging 108.9 points per game on 44.3% shooting, Brandon Ingram leads the charge with 22.2 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, complemented by Zion Williamson’s 21.9 points and 8.2 rebounds.

 

  • Defense: Allowing 117.2 points per game on 48.3% shooting, the Pelicans’ defensive vulnerabilities mirror their opponent’s struggles.

 

  • Key Stats: Shooting 34.4% from three-point range and 76.5% from the free-throw line, the Pelicans’ shooting efficiency remains a point of concern.

 

  • Player Spotlight: CJ McCollum’s steady scoring and Trey Murphy III’s rebounding bolster the team’s overall performance.

 

Why the New Orleans Pelicans Will Win

 

  1. Home Advantage: The Pelicans have won eight of their last nine home games against the Jazz.

 

  1. Consistent Covers: They’ve covered the spread in six of the last seven games in this matchup.

 

  1. Jazz’s Night Struggles: The Jazz have lost 15 of their last 16 night games against Western Conference teams.

 

Why the Utah Jazz Will Win

 

  1. Underdog Resilience: The Jazz have won four of their last six games as underdogs following a loss to the Pelicans.

 

  1. Road Form: Utah has covered the spread in their last four road games following a road loss.

 

  1. Pelicans’ Monday Woes: The Pelicans have lost their last seven Monday games.

 

Injury Report

 

  • Pelicans: Brandon Ingram and Herbert Jones are out, while Zion Williamson and Yves Missi are questionable.

 

  • Jazz: Collin Sexton, Johnny Juzang, Lauri Markkanen, Micah Potter, John Collins, Jordan Clarkson, and Taylor Hendricks are sidelined.

 

Prediction

 

The Pelicans appear stronger heading into this game, with their roster in slightly better health compared to the depleted Jazz lineup. New Orleans has won four of their last five games and consistently covered spreads, whereas the Jazz’s injury list puts them at a significant disadvantage. Even if Zion Williamson remains a game-time decision, the Pelicans are expected to secure another comfortable victory.

 

Prediction: New Orleans Pelicans win and cover the spread.

 

Insights

 

How does Zion Williamson’s potential absence impact the Pelicans?

Zion’s absence would significantly affect New Orleans’ rebounding and scoring in the paint. However, their recent form suggests they can still compete effectively, thanks to Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum’s offensive output.

 

Can Lauri Markkanen carry the Jazz without key players?

Markkanen’s scoring prowess is vital, but without substantial support from other starters, the Jazz are likely to struggle against stronger opponents like the Pelicans.

 

What are the best betting trends for this game?

Favor the Pelicans to cover the spread, given their home record and Utah’s road struggles.
