Sportsmemo NBA handicapper JM Sports offers his Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans betting preview for Friday, November 26. At the time of posting, the Jazz have opened as a 12.5-point home favorite over the visiting Pelicans, with the total sitting at 216.5 points.<\/p>\n
Stay on top of the latest NBA<\/a> updates direct from Las Vegas!<\/em><\/p>\n New Orleans started this season in a very rough stretch, winning 2 of the first 16 games, 7 of those games they played without Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson and they lost all 7. This New Orleans team has now doubled their wins in the L4 games! Although this team is still just 2-8 ATS on the road (including 7 straight L\u2019s), away from New Orleans they are averaging just 97.6 PPG and shooting just 41.2%, while allowing 111 PPG on the road. New Orleans is 4-7 against teams that are allowing less than 108 PPG, 5-10 when both teams have equal rest and a rough 4-7 record against the West!<\/p>\n This Utah Jazz team is shaping up to be one of the best teams in West and even in the league (can\u2019t say I am entirely surprised after the end of LY) but their 12-6 record has them holding steady at the #3 spot in the West. The Jazz are sitting right around .500 in most ATS categories, posting a 5-4 ATS record at home, 6-5 off a win, 8-7 outside of their division and 5-6 w\/ equal rest as the opponent. Although Utah has been dominant straight-up, they are posting over 113 PPG at home (112 on the year) on 47.9% shooting and in the last five games they are playing even better offensively, putting up 118 PPG on 49.9% shooting!! Those offensive numbers have won 4 out of those 5 games straight-up (3-2 ATS).<\/p>\n Even though the Jazz have gone over the total in four-straight, it hasn\u2019t been that way all season. On the other hand, the Pelicans have been a little more consistent in the total trends. The under is 10-1 in New Orleans’ games against the West, 2-8 on the road, 6-13 OU as a dog and in November so far, they are 3-10 OU (bringing the record up to 8-19 OU in November in the L3Y).<\/p>\n I do believe that the Jazz will close this game out by a solid margin, but the Pelicans have been a noticeably different team with Ingram back, and they have drastically improved since the disappointing start to the season. A 12 point spread is a big number against a NO team that definitely has potential (hidden somewhere in that 4-16 record). When we talk about the OU, even with New Orleans OU record, the Jazz averaging 118 PPG in the L5 and a New Orleans defense that has been hit or miss can definitely result in some points. If the Jazz put up another 118 point effort, the Pelicans only need 96 to put this game over the total, and even a struggling offense on the road is averaging more then 96 PPG.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfc8\ud83e\udd11 Alabama is a 19.5 point favorite this weekend, which might not be an easy task against an Auburn team that has won 3 out of the L4 ATS at home against the Crimson Tide. @JMSportsCLE<\/a> breaks down today’s Iron Bowl. #RollTide<\/a> | #WarEagle<\/a> \u2014 Sportsmemo (@sportsmemo) November 25, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nUtah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans Predictions<\/h3>\n
