New Orleans Pelicans - Utah Jazz: betting tip (kef 1.72) and bets on the NBA match

Current form 

The Pelicans have stepped on the same rake again — everything seems to be under control, and in the end the game slips through their fingers like sand on a Louisiana beach. The match against Orlando turned out exactly like this: first the struggle, then the confidence, and then the painful final with a score of 108:112. It all started without unnecessary nervousness: the teams carefully tried on each other, and the first quarter went into the piggy bank of the guests — 28:29. But then the Pelicans turned on the momentum. In the second, the hosts played with fire in their eyes: ball movement, aggression, quick decisions — 32:23, and the team leaves for the big break with a pleasant margin — 60:52. After a pause, it seemed that the game was under control.

The third quarter is almost parity (28:29), but the overall advantage remains — 88:81 before the final rush. And that's where it starts, which New Orleans fans are already learning from the first notes. The attack suddenly loses its rhythm, decisions become difficult, and the ring seems to be narrowing. There are only 20 points in a quarter, and this is despite the fact that the opponent scores 31. Individually, everything looked decent. Saddiq Bey scored the match by 32 points, working through resistance and not being afraid to take the game on himself. Yves Missy was almost perfect in the paint — 18 points, 13 rebounds, 4 blocked shots. Zion added his 17 and 7 rebounds, but it wasn't enough. The team loses the eighth match in a row and confidently stays at the tail of the West with a balance of 25-54.

But Utah has an even tougher story. Their meeting with Oklahoma turned into a demonstration of what the difference between the system and its absence looks like — 111:146, and this is the case when the score does not even fully reflect the scale of what is happening. From the very first minutes, the Jazz found themselves under the rink. The first quarter is 25:40, and this is already an alarm bell that quickly turned into a siren. Then it goes up: Thunder wins every quarter, without slowing down and without giving the opponent a chance to catch on. Against this background, Bryce Sensebo stood out especially — 34 points and the feeling that he was the only one who did not lose the thread of the game. Mikhailyuk added 17 from the bench, hitting five times from distance, Ace Bailey added 14 more. The result is a ninth defeat in a row and a dismal 21-58. Utah is now a team that is looking for itself, but so far it only finds new problems.
