Two teams in danger in the Western Conference go at it on Saturday as the Utah Jazz and New Orleans Pelicans battle in New Orleans.
The Pelicans are in more danger of the two in the standings, but now the Jazz also sit on the outside looking in after their most recent struggles.
New Orleans is pretty much in a do or die situation with teams in front of them, needing every win possible.
Utah Jazz
The Jazz will be dealing with a back to back in Memphis on Friday and then here in New Orleans on Saturday.
That doesn’t bode well for a team that has dropped 4 straight games. Utah has really tapered off since beating Houston to jump them for the 8th spot in the conference. Now, the danger is on as they have fallen 1.5 games back of Houston for that 8th seed.

Utah has struggled to get production and things may be looking worse for them heading into this back to back. Utah looks to be without Rodney Hood, who is battling a concussion after colliding with a Raptors’ player last time out.
That puts more pressure on Gordon Hayward, who has scored 20 or more points in 8 of the last 11 games.
New Orleans Pelicans
New Orleans sits in 12th, 7.5 games off the pace of that 8th spot.
New Orleans looks to rebound at home, a place where they have played better. They are currently 16-14 SU inside Smoothie King Arena. They haven’t been the best for backers, as they have gone just 13-17 ATS.

Free Utah Jazz vs. New Orleans Pelicans NBA Prediction:
Both teams are in trouble. The Pelicans may be too far out while the Jazz just haven’t found any scoring.
Key Gordon Hayward here. He is the player that drives this Utah offense, and if he gets going, so will Utah.
