Utah Jazz Form

Utah head to New Orleans having lost their last two games, but having won nine of the last 12.

The Pelicans wrapped up 2023 with a 117-109 win over Miami, and they began 2024 by following up a 127-90 blowout of Dallas with a 154-148 overtime victory over Detroit.

Their run was halted at three games by a 127-97 defeat in Boston, but their response was to go on a six-game win streak.

Utah won 120-109 in Philadelphia and 132-116 at Milwaukee, before returning home to beat Denver 124-111, Toronto 145-113, the Los Angeles Lakers 132-125 and Indiana 132-105.

However, the Jazz have not won since that victory over the Pacers, following up a 134-129 defeat to Oklahoma City with a 127-126 overtime loss in Houston.

New Orleans Pelicans Form

New Orleans enter this matchup on the back of a loss and in inconsistent form, having gone 4-4 in their last eight games.

The Pelicans ended 2023 with back-to-back wins, and started 2024 by winning four of their first five games of the calendar year.

However, they have not managed to string together wins since then, with their current dip starting with a 125-113 defeat in Denver.

New Orleans bounced back with a 118-108 victory in Dallas, only to then lose the second meeting with the Mavericks, 125-120.

The Pelicans responded with a 132-112 win at home to Charlotte, but again they failed to follow up a win as they were beaten 123-109 by Phoenix.

Verdict

Utah may have lost the last couple of games, but their spread record over the past several weeks cannot be ignored.
