New Orleans Pelicans
The surprise leaders of the Western conference suffered their first defeat after seven wins and their ninth of the season. The Pelicans looked rusty in the game especially from the arc making just four of their 27 attempts and shooting 39.8% from the field for the night.
Zion Williamson continued to lead his team and the game with 26 points but he didn’t get the support needed from his teammates. Only two other players McCollum and Valanciunas were able to score more than ten points as the Pelicans grabbed 43 rebounds in return for the Jazz’s 59.
Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
The Pelicans’ lack of experience was obvious in Wednesday’s game as they rushed their shots when under pressure. With some small adjustments on the part of coach Green, we think the Pelicans can return from Utah with a win.
