New Orleans Pelicans Daily Fantasy Spin
Pelicans shooting guards CJ McCollum (chest) and Trey Murphy III (knee) won’t play in Monday’s road tilt with the Jazz. McCollum is averaging 21.7 points per game this season and Murphy averaged 14.5 points per game last year.
New Orleans forward Matt Ryan will also sit out Monday’s game as he deals with a right calf strain. Ryan is averaging 9.3 points per game in 22.9 minutes per contest for the Pelicans this season.
Utah Jazz Daily Fantasy Spin
Jazz power forward Lauri Markkanen missed the team’s last game with left hamstring soreness, and he’s questionable to play in Monday’s game. Markkanen leads Utah in scoring with 23.7 points per game on the campaign.
Utah point guard Jordan Clarkson missed the club’s last game with an illness, and he’s also listed as questionable for Monday’s tilt with New Orleans. Clarkson is second on the team in scoring with 18.3 points per game this season. It’s worth mentioning that Utah did just beat New Orleans without Markkanen or Clarkson in the lineup on Saturday night.

Pelicans vs. Jazz NBA Prediction:
Dating back to last year, the Jazz have been one of the best teams against the spread in several different types of scenarios. Utah is 23-17-1 ATS after a win since the start of last season, and 16-6 ATS as a home underdog since the beginning of last year. What’s more, the Jazz are 35-25 ATS when playing on 1 day of rest since the start of the 2022 season. One final number should cement the case for Utah: the Jazz are an NBA-best 39-25-1 ATS in conference games since the start of last season. Several stats point to Utah as the right side on Monday, so I’m taking the Jazz and the points at home in this matchup.
