New Orleans is currently tied for first in the Western Conference standings, as they are the same record as the Memphis Grizzlies. They also lead the No. 3 Denver Nuggets by 1.5 games. Offensively, they averaged 117 points per game while shooting 48.5 percent from the field. The team has the fifth-most points per game and its sixth-highest field goal percentage. Bailey’s adjusted offensive rating of 114.3 ranks eighth in the NBA. Zion Williamson leads the offense, averaging 25 points on 62 percent shooting.
New Orleans also showed that they have players who can make it rain. They shot 36 percent from beyond the arc, the 13th-highest three-point percentage in the league. Unfortunately, they have yet to be that solid at the free-throw line. They shot just 78.6 percent from the free-throw line, 17th from the bottom in the NBA. To consistently win these games, they must take advantage of these freedoms to look at the rim.
The Utah Jazz is currently eighth in the Western Conference standings, 3.5 games away from first place. Offensively, they averaged 117.4 points per game while shooting 47.7% from the field. It’s the second-highest scoring team per game and the eighth-highest percentage of the team. The Jazz has an adjusted offensive rating of 116.4, second in the NBA. Lauri Markkanen continues to lead the way offensively, averaging 22.1 points on 52.7 percent shooting from the field.
The Jazz also proved they could stand beyond the arc and light up the scoreboard. They made 37 percent of their 3-pointers, the eighth-best in the league. Unfortunately, they could have played better at the free-throw line. They made just 77.6 percent of their free throws, good for 21st in the NBA.
New Orleans ranks ninth in points allowed per game and third in three-pointers made. They will compete for shots around the rim and perimeter as their defense leads to easy scoring. The Jazz had a solid win on Tuesday, but they won’t be able to do it two games in a row. The Pelicans have been hot lately, and I see them bouncing back in this game. They’re the better team on both ends of the floor, and they’ll show that in this game.
