NBA Bubble Tipoff: Jazz vs Pelicans

Zion Williamson and the Pelicans look to make up ground in the Western Conference with a win over the Jazz.

When the NBA hit the pause button on their season back in March, the Jazz had a good grip on the fourth seed in the Western Conference. The Pelicans however were on the outside looking in for their postseason hopes.

The Pelicans are a one-point underdog for their first game in the NBA bubble against the Jazz. Should sports gamblers look to wager on New Orleans?
