Jazz and Pelicans meet at a pick'em, and the line keeps sliding.

The New Orleans Pelicans visit the Utah Jazz on Friday, and the market has this one dead even. Utah is the nominal favorite at -112 on the moneyline, but with the margin removed the market probability is 50% Utah, 50% New Orleans. The spread opened at Jazz -4 and has been bet all the way to 0. That's a four-point move, and it tells you where the money has gone.

Utah's case starts with home court and a price that's been hammered down. The Jazz allow 123.0 points per game and are on a six-game losing streak, but they still get the game at home, and the market still lists them as the favorite. Utah shoots 46.7% from the field. The Jazz are 1-1 against the spread in their own database. Trey Alexander and Jusuf Nurkic are out or doubtful, which thins the rotation.

New Orleans has the stronger data case. The Pelicans are 7-3 against the spread (70%) in their database, and they've beaten Utah in all three recent meetings: 129-118, 115-105, and 156-137. They score 120.0 points per game, and their 42.7% field goal rate is the number to watch. The Pelicans are also on a six-game losing streak, so both teams are searching for a win.

The number has moved toward New Orleans on both the spread and the moneyline. The total dropped from 241 to 239.5, toward the under. Best prices: Utah moneyline -105 at MyBookie.ag, New Orleans moneyline +100 at Bovada. On the spread, Utah 0 (-110) at BetAnything, New Orleans 0 (-107) at BetOnline.ag.
