Utah Jazz
Little by little “Jazz” is still catching up with “Phoenix”, which is good news. Queen Snyder’s wards feel comfortable in third place, while they managed to break away from the group of pursuers. In the last meeting, Utah hosted the leader of the Western Conference Golden State at home and felt the phenomenon of Stephen Curry, who was again on top, so the hosts were left with nothing (116:123). Jazzmen feel better just in away confrontations and, according to this indicator, occupy the first line in the West. The team goes to New Orleans to win, however, the opponent is set to fight.
Prediction
Of course, the bookmakers gave the status of favorites to the jazzmen, who lost only three times away this season. Utah will try to continue their streak of away victories, but again, do not underestimate the Pelicans. The New Orleans players understand what level the opponent is coming to Smoothie King Center, but Stan Van Gundy's players have no choice but to go all-in. In our opinion, the hosts will take a risk and challenge the favorite, which, at least, will help them escape from the rout. Our prediction is a handicap (+12.5) points on the New Orleans Pelicans for a coefficient of 1.77 in BC 1xBet . Teams are trying to act in an attacking manner, however, it is the "jazzmen" who do better.
