The Utah Jazz and the New Orleans Pelicans are set to battle it out at the Delta Center in an NBA Clash. The Jazz are in 13th place in the league standings, while the Pelicans are in 14th place. Here's our match prediction.
It has been a tough few weeks for the Utah Jazz, who come into this match riding a three-match losing streak. This comes after winning back-to-back games against the Heat and the Kings.
In what proved to be their final match of a two-game mini road trip, the Jazz travelled to Toyota Center to lock horns with the Houston Rockets. It was unfortunate for them as they suffered a 125-105 defeat.
They will be hoping for an improved performance in front of their home crowd. It's still to be seen whether they can pull off an upset in this impending encounter, having lost six of their last seven matches.
The New Orleans Pelicans are starting to find their rhythm as they enter this clash with two consecutive wins. Before this, they had been on a two-match losing streak.
In their recent match, they faced the Golden State Warriors at home. They won 113-109 with Zion Williamson leading with a team-high 26 points.
The Pelicans are on the road seeking a third consecutive win. Their recent triumph over the Timberwolves ended a four-match losing streak.

The Jazz are allowing opponents to shoot 37.3% from the three-point range this season (28th). It's worth noting that they have the NBA's worst defensive record.
