Jazz vs. Pelicans Odds & Betting Predictions - January 21, 2025

Injury report for these teams are both a mile long but Trey Murphy has been developing into a true two way star. Murphy is averaging 25.2 points over his last 10 games and has exceeded this mark in 5/10. He missed this mark last game in this same matchup against Utah however it was a prime Zion spot who crushed and is not playing tonight. Without Zion, Trey’s scoring jumps by about 15% up to almost 30 points per 100 possessions and his Usage sees a similar uptick to 24%. Utah has the worst defense in the league and plays at the 12th-fastest Pace so there should be plenty of opportunities for Trey to score here. Seeing a lot of 23.5s here and I’m okay there too but don’t need to go past that.

THE BOUNCE 📽️: 2.99 Threes This looks like an over adjustment to the matchup. The Pels are bad. Bad at most thing, including defending the three, but George is going to need to see significant volume to get here barring a super efficient shooting night. He's only cleared this mark in 2 of his last 10 games, averaging 3.2 per game. He's only had double-digit 3PTA in 2 of those games and is only averaging 7.8 threes attempted per game.
