New Orleans Pelicans over Utah Jazz: We have a 4-0 team at home as a dog against a 2-2 team. In order to bet this game we must ask why? Well N.O. did play last night at home granted so no travel involved. They struggled and needed a 9-0 run to close the game to win against Brooklyn. Believe it or not Brooklyn is competitive. No one played more than 38 minutes for N.O. Ut is rested they play Dall tomorrow on the road. It is off a road win vs. Houst that on the surface lloks good. Houst was without Paul and Harden. This all explains the line movement by the market to Ut being favored. I disagree with this N.O is every bit as good as Ut and the line suggests on a neutral court Ut is 5 points better. I have this game at N.O. 1.5 giving us excellent value.
