Utah Jazz (18-41) and New Orleans Pelicans (18-42) will clash on Saturday night at the Delta Center. The Jazz will try to end their embarrassing four-game slide as their playoff hopes slowly fade away. They’ll also have revenge on their minds after losing 118-129 to the Pelicans on Thursday night, in a game where Sadiq Bey scored 42 points for the visitors. To be fair to them, their injury list doesn’t help much, with four players out for the rest of the season.
New Orleans Pelicans, on the other hand, are 14th in the Western Conference standings, just 0.5 games behind the Jazz. Unlike the struggling hosts, the Pelicans have discovered their winning formula, having won their last three matches. They’ve managed to keep Zion Williamson healthy for much of the season, with the veteran forward scoring an average of 24.8 PPG in the last five matches. The Pelicans could also welcome back Yves Missi from a calf injury.

Our Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
Nobody’s going to touch Utah Jazz in their current form. Bookies have listed them as the +195 betting underdogs as they try to find a way to win matches. They’ve underperformed at home this season, losing 11 of their 30 games. Their defense has been the main problem recently, giving up an average of 121.2 points in their last five home contests. They’ll be coming up against a healthy Pelicans side, whom they haven’t defeated since November 2023. However, the Pels will be without Dejounte Murray, who will be rested after scoring 17 points and assisting 9 against the Jazz on Thursday. Still, they should get another comfortable win on Saturday.
Our prediction for Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans: New Orleans Pelicans to cover -6 spread as favorites.
