The Pelicans will try to end their losing streak tonight when they host the Utah Jazz at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, LA. Fans can watch the action via the NBA League Pass once the game gets underway at 8 p.m. EST.
With a 112-108 loss to the Orlando Magic their last time out, the Pelicans have lost eight in a row. All of those losses were to playoff/play-in teams, so the competition has been tough. In those games, the Pelicans have averaged 108.1 points per game (28th in the NBA) and allowed 120.1 points per game (17th in the NBA). They will once again be without the services of the team's leading scorer, Trey Murphy III.
As for their opponents, the Jazz, Utah has been struggling with a losing streak of its own. With a loss in their last game, 146-111 vs. Oklahoma City, the Jazz lost their last nine in a row. In that span, they have allowed a league-high 134.3 points per game while scoring 115.3 points per game. Elijah Harkless, Keyone George, and Isaiah Collier have been ruled out for the game.
This is the third of three games scheduled between these two teams this season; the Pelicans won both prior games.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Utah Jazz Prediction
This is a challenging game to predict because both teams are bad, but someone has to win. Despite their losing streak, I have to go with the Pelicans to win outright. Their competition was good, and they were not destroyed every night. Utah, on the other hand, was destroyed every night. Even without Murphy, the New Orleans offense hasn’t been too bad. It should be good enough to cover this large spread against a Jazz team that appears to have given up a long time ago.
Our Utah vs. New Orleans Pick: Pelicans -11.5
