Utah Jazz | -110 | -110 |
New Orleans cannot stop winning as they rise to the top of the Western Conference standings. At one time, the Pelicans struggled mightily, which is expected with younger teams. Now, this team was hovering around .500 just ten games ago. A 9-1 run with seven straight victories vaulted the Pelicans to an 18-8 mark. So, is taking New Orleans a great move for NBA Tuesday Night Picks?
Now, coach Willie Green is enjoying the run his young high-tempo team is on. Though the Pelicans have kept winning, there are always some concerns. Those include giving up points at a high rate. New Orleans yielded 124 points to Phoenix in their previous win. Fortunately, the Pelicans triumphed thanks to a 129-point effort.
The Pelicans heating up behind a hot Zion Williamson, must scare the rest of the Western Conference. New Orleans frightened a lot of teams last season as they nearly advanced past Memphis in the playoffs. This year started less than optimally. However, this latest run swept up New Orleans fans in a frenzy as they see a Pelicans team that could be better than the 2021-22 version.
Naturally, NBA Tuesday Night Picks examines wager number one. How do we wager with the Pelicans? That moneyline stabilized, which is good news. The fun approach and way to increase bankroll may be to lay the 2.0 to 2.5 points if it stays in that range. Utah is averaging almost 120 points a game at home. New Orleans is averaging over 120 points a game during this hot stretch. The Pelicans giving up 2.0 points runs as our best choice.
What about more NBA Tuesday Night Picks for the Pelicans-Jazz game? Think about how these teams unexpectedly mirror each other. There are other wagers to consider for this night. Again, the best news is that both teams are fairly healthy as of press time. The best news for New Orleans is it feels like the man games loss issues from 2021-22 are a thing of the past.
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz keeps faltering. The Jazz only has lost seven of their previous ten games, which includes consecutive losses. The Jazz allowed an average of 118.3 points per game in the past three contests. Utah allowed fewer than 110 points only once in their last 15 games (a loss more than a month ago to Philadelphia). Teams can score on this Jazz squad. When the defense has this many issues, the offense cannot always bail a team out.
Granted, every team in the Western Conference knows the Utah Jazz being healthy helps the bottom line. Again, the over has risen some up to 234. Is that a bridge too far for bettors tonight? That begs the biggest question of all. A Donovan Mitchell versus Zion Williamson matchup cranks up the fanbases but ups the scoring ante.
Finally, betting experts look at alternate betting lines normally here. While Bovada and BetOnline have stayed mostly at 233 or 234 with this game, other sites have pondered inching even higher. The possibility of seeing a 236 would cause some concern. That last matchup with healthy teams was a Utah 122-121 win. Consequently, the over works for us at 234 for the NBA Tuesday Night Picks. Do watch this number.
The NBA Tuesday Night Picks hold one last card err wager with the New Orleans game. This Pelicans team is young and enthusiastic. While some believe that can be bad going into an intimidating Utah environment, this confidence bodes well.
So, could New Orleans be undervalued on the road for this tilt? Okay, at VegasBetting, we ride the wave ahead of this matchup. Few are impressed by Utah’s home mark anymore, and New Orleans may only have a 6-5 road record, but their level of play has jumped several since October.
NBA betting frustrates even the best of us sometimes. Look at the twists and turns of this early portion of the season. Thankfully, there have not been as many load-management issues. However, all these injuries have been just as maddening.
For the NBA Tuesday Night Picks, consider the alternate line with the over at 232.5 points (-115). The Pelicans’ propensity to score does not hurt, and moving 1.5 points does not hurt much here. Do not forget this bet prop. Take a shot at New Orleans winning between three and six points at +550. Wagering a few dollars there cannot hurt.
For NBA Tuesday Night Picks, we recommend the Phoenix Suns end their losing streak with a quick bet expecting them to cover the 5.5 points. Houston maybe 5-5 in their last ten but Phoenix is due to start winning. The Rockets enjoyed a nice home win over Milwaukee but expected a letdown.
