Game Preview
On November 27, the Utah Jazz (5-11) will host the New Orleans Pelicans (9-8) in a game at Delta Center.
The Pelicans’ success eventually ended last game as they lost to Utah 105-100, capping a run of three victories. In the defeat, Jordan Hawkins scored 25 points despite the absence of CJ McCollum and Zion Williamson, while Brandon Ingram finished with 26 points, 8 assists, and 6 rebounds. The Pelicans held the Jazz in check at the start of the game and were able to maintain their lead all the way until the Jazz erupted for 37 points in the final quarter to steal the game away from them. As a team, the Pelicans made just 41% from the field and 11 of 36 from their three-point line. Zion Williamson, who was rested the previous time out, appears certain to make a comeback for the visiting team. Williamson has participated in 13 of 17 games this season after missing 53 games and all of 2021–22 due to a foot ailment. He averages 23.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game and having him in the lineup, New Orleans is 8-5.
The Utah Jazz, on the other hand, have struggled mightily this season and had a four-game losing run prior to defeating the Pelicans last game. Keyonte George scored 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Collin Sexton led the squad with 16 points and 6 assists off the bench. Due to a hamstring injury, Lauri Markkanen was unable to play the last game and is rated as questionable for this match. Jordan Clarkson is also doubtful after missing the game due to illness. This season, Clarkson is averaging 18.3 points and 4.6 assists per game, while Markkanen is scoring on average 23.7 points and 8.7 rebounds each game. These two top the team in points scored per game, therefore their absence might be noticed quite a bit in this situation.
