Utah Jazz & New Orleans Pelicans Squad Analysis
The Pelicans continue without the availability of all-star Brandon Ingram but the team hasn’t appeared to miss the 25-year-old’s production. Stepping up in his absence has been Zion Williamson, who is really emerging as an unstoppable force in the league and will likely find his name in the MVP discussion should he continue his current form. Williamson has scored 35 points in back-to-back games and is averaging 25 points on the season on an efficient 60% from the field. For the Jazz, they could be without the presence of former sixth-man of the year Jordan Clarkson as well as the resurgent Lauri Markkanen, who is experiencing something of a career revival in Utah.

Our Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
We’re going to back the New Orleans Pelicans to get the win and cover the -1.5 point spread in this game. Although the Pelicans haven’t been as strong on the road as they have been at home, we still expect them to show up here and put forward another strong performance. They are playing some of the best basketball in the league at the moment while the Jazz have really been struggling to snap out of their funk. Clarkson and Markkanen would both be huge misses as each are marked as questionable for this game. Back the road favorites to get it done.
