Pelicans at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 115, Jazz 102

Moneyline

PASS.

While New Orleans (-200) fell to Utah in its previous game, expect it to rebound with a victory. At -200 odds, however, there is no profit to be made on a Pelicans win.

Against the spread

BET PELICANS -4.5 (-115).

This will be the 3rd time in the Pelicans' last 9 outings that they have played the same team in back-to-back games — they won the 2nd game in each of those previous 2 series. Prior to Saturday's loss, New Orleans had covered in 6 straight games and had gone 5-1 straight up during that stretch.

The Jazz found success on Saturday with a team effort in scoring which will not suffice on Monday.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 230.5 (-110).

The Under is 5-1 in the Pelicans' last 6 games and 3-0 in their last 3 on the road. For Utah, the Under is 3-0 in its last 3 games, including the Under (227.5) hitting easily Saturday.

The Pelicans and Jazz rank 20th and 21st in the league in offensive rating, respectively, pointing towards both teams' lack of scoring this season. Expect points to be harder to come by on Monday night.
