Ace Bailey (Utah Jazz) Under 2.5 Threes Made (-110)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Pelicans gear up to face the Jazz, all eyes will be on Ace Bailey's three-point shooting. While he's been on a hot streak, nailing all of his last three attempts, let's consider the context of this matchup. The Jazz have been tenacious defensively, particularly against perimeter shooters, limiting opponents to under 33% from beyond the arc in their last handful of games. Bailey, despite his recent success, faces a tougher challenge against a Jazz squad that's known for its ability to close out on shooters. Interestingly, his away performances show a stark contrast; he's managed to hit over 2.5 threes only once in his last four games as a visitor. Given the defensive schemes Utah deploys and Bailey's recent struggles away from home, taking the under on his threes made feels like a smart play in this matchup.

Kyle Filipowski (Utah Jazz) Under 9.5 Rebounds (-108)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Utah Jazz gear up for their matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans, keep an eye on Kyle Filipowski's rebound numbers, particularly the under on 9.5. While he's been a strong performer lately, averaging 10.4 boards over his last five games, his away performance tells a different story-he's only snagged 8.2 rebounds in those contests. Historically against the Pelicans, he averages 8.4 rebounds, and when playing away, that number dips to 9.5.With the Jazz looking to establish their rhythm on the road, Filipowski's tendency to shy away from the glass during away games makes the under inviting. His recent stats show he's hit the under in five of his last six road outings, which correlates with his expected stat value of 8.65. Given the overall landscape and the Pelicans' defense, this bet feels like a smart play.

Cody Williams (Utah Jazz) Under 4.5 Rebounds (-106)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Pelicans face off against the Jazz, Cody Williams might find himself in a tough spot on the boards. While Williams has averaged 5 rebounds per game recently, his away performances tell a different story. On the road, he dips to about 4.4 rebounds, and against Utah specifically, he's only pulled down an average of 2 rebounds in their last few matchups. With the Jazz boasting a solid rebounding front, it's likely Williams will struggle to make a significant impact. Given his expected stat value of just 3.7 and a strong trend of hitting the under-7 of his last 9 games-this bet looks like a smart play. The odds suggest there's a 51.5% chance he stays under 4.5 rebounds, making it a compelling choice as he navigates an away game against a competitive team.
