In their win over the Nuggets the Pelicans played well on both ends of the floor shooting 49.5% and holding Denver to 37.9% shooting. New Orleans broke the game open in the middle outscoring the Nuggets by 25 points in the 2nd and 3rd quarter.
[dfads params=’groups=226&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
Anthony Davis went big in the Denver game going for 31 points and 15 boards leading 7 players that scored in double figures.
Davis will need help in this game, especially if Cousins cannot go, facing Utah C Rudy Gobert, who anchors a solid defense.
The Pelicans are only 5-11-3 ATS in their last 19 games at Utah.
This season the Pelicans are only 12-24 on the road.
Utah Jazz
This season the Jazz only rank 29th in the league in points per game, but have the league’s best defense only allowing an average of 96.7 ppg.
In their loss to the Clippers the Jazz shot a similar FG%, but they got off to a very slow start getting outscored by 14 points in the first quarter. In the game they shot 43% from the floor and allowed the Clippers to shoot 44.7%.
Leading scorer for the Jazz Gordon Hayward was injured in the last game and while it is not serious he is a question mark for this game.
Gobert went for 26 points and 14 boards in the L.A. loss and only 3 Utah players scored in double figures.

George Hill (16.9 ppg) and Rodney Hood (12.8 ppg) both struggled with their shot in the Clippers game combining for 18 points and if Hayward cannot go they cannot let than happen again, as they will need to take up the scoring slack.
This season the Jazz are 24-12 at home.
