The Jazz and Pelicans rank similarly on offense, with the Pelicans 103.1 rating tied for 14th, while the Jazz’s 102.9 being good for a tie in 16th. Where the teams differ is on defense, where the Jazz rank 13th with a rating of 102.9, while the Pelicans are tied in 23rd with a rating of 106.2. The two teams have complete opposite styles of play, with the Jazz rating dead last in pace (and the Pelicans being 12th.)
The Pelicans may see Omer Asik return to the lineup, as he is currently listed as questionable. If he does, do not be surprised to see him suit up as a starter, just like the team did with Eric Gordon.
