The New Orleans Pelicans and the Utah Jazz are set to battle it out at Smoothie King Center in an NBA clash. The Pelicans are in 12th place in the Western Conference standings, while the Jazz are 14th. Here's our match prediction.
With three games left to spare, the New Orleans Pelicans are nearing the end of their underwhelming campaign, where they are doomed for a bottom-five finish. They are 25-54 on the season and are 11 games behind the tenth-seeded Warriors.
Results have been hard to come by for them in recent weeks. A narrow 112-108 home defeat against the Orlando Magic marked their eighth consecutive defeat.
The Pelicans have home-court advantage once again and hope this time they'll put an end to that slump. However, they've been nowhere near their best at the Smoothie King Center, losing their last three matches at this venue.
The Utah Jazz come into this match off the back of a 146-111 away defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder, marking their eighth consecutive defeat. Their performances on the road have not been up to standard as they've suffered eight consecutive defeats.
The Jazz enter their final matchup against the Pelicans with a depleted squad, as many as seven players are in the treatment room. This includes their primary star player, Lauri Markkanen, who is recovering from an ankle injury.
