KEY ABSENCES
GAME SCRIPT
The data covers the end of last season, and rosters have changed, so no recent form is drawn from it. The expected pace is about 107.3, or roughly 107 possessions per team, a fast pace. The Jazz have a pace of 108.1 compared to 105.5 for the Pelicans, so Utah is the team pushing the tempo. Both defenses sit at a 120.0 defensive rating, which leaves room for the offenses. Utah is without Nurkic and Alexander, while New Orleans has no listed absences.
OUR ANALYSIS
SPREAD: No spread pick: there is no fatigue situation in this game.
TOTALS: Our lean is toward the OVER 240.0. The flow of a fast-paced game, with defenses at a 120.0 defensive rating, points to a total range around the line, or even above it. Our model projects 241.8 points against a line of 240.0, a gap of 1.8 points in favor of the OVER, and the data points the same way. The 1.980 odds pay out on our estimate, with a slim edge.
The Jazz have an offensive rating of 107.8, the lower of the two teams, and Nurkic's absence could weigh on their scoring. A choppy game or one played in the half court could pull the total under 240.0. We accept that risk, because the Pelicans have an offensive rating of 109.9 and allow 126.5 points per game, which keeps the open-game scenario in play.
AI trend on the OVER 240.0 @ 1.980, with a slim edge. No spread pick.
