Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Utah Jazz Prediction

It's the battle of the Western Conference’s bottom-feeders: the Jazz and the Pelicans. In this case, I’ll take the Pelicans straight up since they are the team on the rise recently. DeJounte Murray has finally woken up from his slumber and is beginning to put up All-Star type of numbers for his new team. The jump in his performance has made a big impact for the Pelicans, who won three of their last four. On the other hand, the Jazz have been terrific against the spread in the past three weeks, holding a 6-1 ATS record in their last 7 matches. The +11.5 points spread set for this ballgame also favors the Jazz, who are 13-8 ATS on the road. The Pelicans will win for the third straight time, but, luckily for their opponents, the spread margin is too wide, so our betting prediction for New Orleans Pelicans vs. Utah Jazz: the Jazz will cover +11.5 points.

Prediction:

 

Jazz will cover +11.5 points
