Jazz vs. Pelicans Best NBA Prop Bets

Pelicans Best NBA Prop Bet

Saddiq Bey OVER 2.5 3-Pointers (+132)

I’m always drawn to this prop for some reason, so why not run it back tonight against an awful Utah squad.

Bey is averaging 2.1 3s on 5.7 attempts per game. However, that’s gone up recently.

The Pelicans forward has averaged 3.3 3s on 6.5 attempts in his last 10 games, going OVER 2.5 3-pointers in nine of those 10 contests. He went 8-of-17 from deep in the two games in Utah in February as well.

Jazz vs. Pelicans Prediction and Pick

I can only look to the Pelicans in tonight’s game. The Jazz are truly one of the worst teams in the league, failing to cover +18.5 and +24.5 in their last two games.

While the Pelicans are nowhere near the level of the Rockets or Thunder, they can hold their own, especially at home. They beat the Jazz by 11 and 10 on the road, so home-court advantage should give them the extra few points they need to cover this -11.5 spread.

Pick: Pelicans -11.5 (-112)
