The New Orleans Pelicans and Utah Jazz will meet at the Smoothie King Centre in the NBA on Wednesday night. The Pels have won eight of their last nine games against this opponent, and our prediction is that they will add another win to that tally in this one.
After a very poor start to the season, losing their first four games, the New Orleans Pelicans have turned things around, now on a three-game win streak after beating the Grizzlies in overtime on Monday.
The Pels are looking particularly dangerous when they assert their physical advantage and look to push the pace. Zion Williamson’s fitness has been key, and he leads the team with 21.3 PPG and 5.3 rebounds.
New Orleans are in the top 10 for offensive efficiency and 18th on the defensive end this season. Yves Missi is the only confirmed absentee for the home side tonight.
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been very poor over the opening stages of the season, 1-6 after seven games and entering this one off the back of a 119-97 defeat to the Spurs on Monday.
The Jazz’s only win this season came against the Pels by a single point on October 23. They are third-bottom in offensive efficiency and 24th in defensive efficiency after their first seven matches.
Injuries have contributed to Utah’s poor form. Trey Alexander, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Jusuf Nurkic are out, while Mo Bamba is listed as a doubt.
