The bottom two teams in the Western Conference are meeting for the second straight time in New Orleans, where the Pelicans are showing signs of life with Zion Williamson back in the fold. Look for New Orleans to continue its surge against a Jazz unit that has been banged up. Let’s look at Jazz vs Pelicans odds and find the top bets today.
Jazz vs Pelicans Prediction
New Orleans has won three in a row – a season high – and leapfrogged Utah out of the West basement with Friday’s 136-123 win. Two of those wins came with Zion Williamson in the lineup and looking like his usual self, which transforms this team.
Williamson is questionable for this one (illness) but the Jazz are without a host of key players (Markkanen, Collins, Sexton, Clarkson, Juzang, Potter). Expect a similar result to Friday: Pelicans 126, Jazz 114.

Jazz vs Pelicans 3 Best NBA Player Props Today
1. Keyonte George Over 22.5 Points (-104)
George is like a guy standing on an island wondering when the boat with all his friends is coming back. With so many injured teammates, he’ll have the green light to fire away and try to keep his crew in this one. George has scored 26 points in each of his two games since returning from a foot issue and has been much better on the road this season.
2. CJ McCollum Over 3.5 3-Pointers (-103)
No team in the West allows more 3-pointers than the Jazz with 14.4 per game. And, again, with so many guys on the shelf they will be scrambling. McCollum, who nailed six 3’s in Friday’s win over Utah and is shooting 44% from the arc since Dec. 30, will take advantage.
3. Isaiah Collier Over 7.5 Assists (-104)
Once again just following recent NBA betting trends (Collier has 21 assists over his last two games) and banking on the fact that Utah will be leaning very heavily on just a handful of guys. Collier is one of them and the rookie will continue his recent breakout, which includes him keeping his cool against New Orleans’ Jose Alvarado.

Bet These Jazz vs Pelicans Player Props Here
Jazz vs Pelicans Moneyline Pick
It’s nearly impossible to warrant anything other than a New Orleans pick here. They’re far and away the healthier team, they’re at home and they’ve won six of nine overall. Also, while the Pelicans seem to want to prove they’re not a league bottom-feeder, Utah may already be well into tank mode.
Jazz vs Pelicans Spread Pick
New Orleans won by 13 the other night when these teams met. We see a similar result and think you should stay on that side of the NBA odds. Even in a season where they are way below expectations, the Pelicans are 12-11-0 against the spread at home.
Jazz vs Pelicans Over/Under Pick
These teams both rank in the top seven in the NBA in terms of going over, putting up a combined 46-35-2 mark on the over. There were loads of points to be had in Friday’s clash and there’s reason to expect a similar outcome in this one. Bet over in your NBA expert picks today.

Questions Of The Day
Who will be the top scorer in Jazz-Pelicans?
George is a great option, as we mentioned, and Williamson will get his if he’s healthy. But a great NBA pick would be for Trey Murphy III to go off. He’s averaging 25.2 points over his last 13 games and the Jazz offer little resistance on the defensive end.
Do the Pelicans have a chance to make a playoff push?
If Zion stays healthy it’s possible. The 6-3 surge has them within 11 games of the last play-in spot with roughly half the season remaining. Crazier things have happened, and they have a great shot at another win in this one.
