The New Orleans Pelicans look to extend their current winning streak to four-straight when they visit the Utah Jazz on Saturday. The Pelicans improved to 6-9 following a 124-121 win over the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. Brandon Ingram led the Pelicans with 28 points and JJ Redick added 26, but it was the 15 points of Ingram in the fourth quarter that was the difference.

Brandon Ingram leads New Orleans in scoring with an average of 25.6 points per game. Derrick Favors leads the Pelicans in rebounds with an average of 8.9 per game, while Jrue Holiday is first in assists with an average of 7.5 per game. Six Pelicans’ players are averaging double-figures in scoring.

Utah completes a back-to-back on Saturday when hosting the New Orleans Pelicans after hosting the Golden State Warriors on Friday night, and will be completing a 3-in-4 situation. The Jazz defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 103-95 Wednesday. Bojan Bogdanovic led the Jazz with 30 points and Donovan Mitchell scored 26. The Jazz improved to 9-5 with the win.

Donovan Mitchell leads the Jazz in scoring with an average of 24.9 points per game. Rudy Gobert is the team leader in rebounds with an average of 13.7 per game, while Mike Conley is the leader in assists with an average of 4.4 per game. Bojan Bogdanovic is the second leading scorer for the Jazz with an average of 20.5 points per game.

While the UNDER is a solid choice, the play here is New Orleans. The Pelicans are on a roll going 3-0 straight up and ATS in their lost 3 and 5-2 SU and 6-1 ATS in their last 7. In addition the Pelicans have covered each of the last 5 versus a Western Conference opponent. Utah on the other hand has failed to cover 5 of its last 7 when playing an opponent from the Southwest division. Final Score Prediction, Utah Jazz win but fall short ATS 114-111.
