The Pelicans are coming into this game as a 13 point underdog with the latest odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Pelicans have been playing a lot better recently and have started to win some games after an awful start to their season. The Jazz have not been playing well recently and have started to stumble in a few of their games. This is a very large spread and it will be tough for the Jazz to cover on a back-to-back when they have not been playing well and the Pelicans have been playing a lot better. The best bet to place in this game is on the Pelicans to cover the spread here.
