Pelicans at Jazz picks and predictions
Prediction
Pelicans 121, Jazz 114
Moneyline
Considering how both of these teams have been playing recently, PELICANS (-125) is an intriguing wager. Ingram isn’t available for New Orleans, but the team has won 7 consecutive games without him on the court.
Against the spread
PELICANS -1.5 (-110) is where I’m going in this game as I thought the spread would be higher in favor of New Orleans in this contest. F Zion Williamson has been lighting it up recently and the Jazz won’t be able to contain him Tuesday.
The Pelicans are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a winning record and are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Meanwhile, the Jazz are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 home games against a team with a winning road record.
Over/Under
Both of these teams are capable of scoring plenty of points, so OVER 233.5 (-115) is where I’m leaning. The Pelicans and the Jazz are both top-5 in offensive rating this season.
The Jazz have hit the Over in 11 of their last 12 games against a team with a winning record. The Over is also 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the Pelicans and the Jazz in Utah and the Over is 23-10 in the last 33 meetings overall.
