NBA Odds: Jazz vs. Pelicans prediction, odds and pick
Utah Jazz are 2-0 after beating Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves. New Orleans Pelicans are also playing well and are expected to make a run in the West. They are playing their home opener on Sunday evening.
The Jazz are getting eight and a half points against a promising but hardly proven Pelicans team. Mike Conley provides the floor leadership this team needs. The Jazz will be much more of a headache than many realized or expected.
The Pelicans have a chance to be good this season. They have five players playing at least 11 minutes off the pine against the Hornets. The Pelicans' bench got a lot of work against Hornets on Friday.
The Pelicans should win the game, but the Jazz's 3-point shooting will keep the match close.
The final NBA odds and pick are Jazz +8.5.
