The over is 4-0 in Jazz last 4 overall. The Pelicans are 2-5-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Utah and 5-12-1 ATS in the last 18 meetings.

The Utah Jazz are going to be big favorites for obvious reasons, and they've had success covering these sorts of numbers in the past. However, this line is quite steep, and the Pelicans have shown some signs of life here and there as of late. The Pelicans are losing their last five games by an average of just 1.6 points. This line feels a bit too steep. Give me the Pelicans and the points.
