The Pelicans let a 92-86 lead slip away entering the fourth quarter of their season opener, ultimately losing 123-120 to the Pacers. Zion Williamson scored 22 points and Murray added 23, while Missi contributed 13 points and 14 rebounds. New Orleans will now visit the Jazz for their second game of the season.
UTAH also lost their first game, falling 103-123 to the Grizzlies. The Jazz allowed Ty Jerome to score 45 points, while Markkanen scored 18 for his team, only surpassed by Jerome's 22. The Jazz's statistics perfectly illustrate their defeat: they made just 22 of 33 free throws and grabbed only 5 offensive rebounds.
In recent times, the Pelicans have found the recipe for beating the Jazz, having won each of their last eight meetings, including a 156-137 rout in April of this year.

Our Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
The Pelicans' starting lineup in their season opener was Williamson, Murphy, Missi, Fears, and Murray, with all scoring in double figures except for Fears. They hope that this season, finally, injuries won't derail their season as they have so many times before.
Williamson's power and defensive penetration make him a fearsome player, but this year he seems poised to take more three-point shots, adding another dimension to his basketball game.
Our prediction for Jazz vs Pelicans is: Pelicans ML.
