Pelicans vs. Jazz: NBA Odds, Picks & Predictions (Thursday)
It’s deja vu, as the Pelicans and Jazz face off in a rematch from Tuesday night. The Jazz got the better of New Orleans in the previous matchup, winning 121-100, and though this result is not necessarily indicative of the rank between these two teams, the game’s context offers plenty of information as to how to bet tonight’s matchup.
It is dumbfounding that this spread is the same as it was two nights ago. The Pelicans were thoroughly outplayed by the Jazz and will be without Jose Alvarado in tonight’s bout. As constructed, the Pelicans may be one of the NBA’s best teams, but it is egregious for the line to open at the same number.
Utah is a pretty good team, especially with Mike Conley back in the lineup. Oddsmakers are taking advantage of the Pelicans’ hype with this number, and there is no reason not to back Utah once again.
Bet: Jazz +2 (-110)
