The over is the play tonight. Both these teams play defense like they just met each other in the parking lot. The Pels are giving up 118.7 ppg, the Jazz are allowing 119.3 ppg, and neither one of them can stop a nosebleed in transition. Utah’s been hitting overs like clockwork (9 of their last 11), and we already saw these two squads put up 259 and 242 points in their matchups earlier this season. New Orleans' overs have hit 58% this season, and Utah’s have cashed at 59%, so this is a strong trend. Zion and CJ should play tonight after a night of rest, which means we’re pushing pace, getting to the line, and letting Trey and CJ let it fly from deep. Even if one of them sits, the Pels’ defense gets even worse, and the Jazz still plays zero defense.
If you’ve watched this team all year, you know the Pels love to keep games wild and up-tempo, especially against bad defensive teams like Utah. The Jazz can’t guard the paint, can’t close out on shooters, and turn the ball over too much, which means more easy buckets. It ain’t gonna be pretty, but it’s gonna be high-scoring. I'm taking the Over 232.5, and let’s cash it!
