Pelicans vs Jazz Analysis
The Utah Jazz travel to the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans for a Western Conference battle with the Pelicans. The Pels have won three games in a row and are wrapping up a short two-game homestand. The Jazz have also won three-straight games and are playing the third game of a five-game road trip.
The Jazz have won two of three head-to-head meetings with the Pelicans stealing one of two games played in Utah.
Pelicans vs Jazz Team Totals
The Utah Jazz enter this game with a team total of 113.5, while the Pelicans sit at 109.5. Utah’s two head-to-head wins came by scores of 127-105 and 115-104, while the Pelicans won 98-97.
Both teams have played at a slow pace over the last ten games, the Jazz rank 29th and the Pels 24th. No surprise that both teams have trended towards the under recently. Three of the last four Pels games have went under, while the Jazz have went under in two of four with the other two games going to overtime.
The Jazz have held the Pelicans to 105 points or less in all three head-to-head matchups. They way these teams are trending, I would expect the same tonight.
Recommendation: New Orleans Pelicans’ Team Total Under 109.5 Points
Pelicans vs Jazz Player Props
This is a matchup with a lot of big names, which gives us many directions to look. One thing that stood out was Brandon Ingram’s struggles in matchups with the Jazz. He has shot a horrendous 15-for-54 combined in the three games with a point total high of 21. This could be a spot to look at for under 20.5 points.
Donovan Mitchell has been on a tear recently, scoring 26 or more in five straight games. The Pelicans have been carved up by opposing guards since CJ Mccollum has joined the team. Players like Devin Booker, Luka Doncic and Dejounte Murray have flown over their points totals. We will be rolling with Mitchell over 26.5 points here.
Recommendation: Donovan Mitchell Over 26.5 Points
Pelicans vs Jazz Same-Game Parlay
- Donovan Mitchell OVER 19.5 Points
- Brandon Ingram UNDER 22.5 Points
- CJ McCollum OVER 3.5 Assists
+160 Odds
For starters, let’s get Mitchell into this Same-Game Parlay, but lowered to over 19.5 points. Mitchell has only fallen short of 20 points once in his last nine games.
We mentioned Ingram’s struggles with Utah and he has fallen short of 20 points in four of his last six games. Add Brandon Ingram under 22.5 points.
CJ McCollum has had four assists or more in all eight games since joining the Pels and five or more in seven of those eight games. Add McCollum over 3.5 assists and we get an amazing +160 play.
