Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction & Picks, October 23, 2026

Trey Murphy III has had a solid run lately, but the matchup against the Utah Jazz might not favor him for hitting threes. The Jazz allow a fair amount of three-point attempts, but they actually do a decent job of limiting shooters. Since 2018, they've kept opponents from getting too many easy shots, which could mean Trey struggles to find his rhythm. While Murphy has shown he can score from deep, the Jazz also do a good job on the boards, grabbing rebounds and limiting second-chance points. The most concrete risk here is that both teams are close in their defensive ability, so it might be a tight contest for Trey. With odds at +120, this bet has a good chance, but it's not guaranteed.

Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans: Saddiq Bey Over 13.5 Pts + Rebs (-161)

The Utah Jazz struggle to defend against players who can score and grab rebounds, and Saddiq Bey fits that mold perfectly. With the Jazz allowing a high number of three-point attempts and rebounds, Bey should find plenty of chances to rack up points and boards. He's been on a roll lately, and this matchup is a good spot for him to shine. Bey needs to combine his scoring and rebounding to hit over 13.5. The biggest risk is that both teams can get close in the game, which might limit his playing time. Still, considering how the Jazz defend, this bet looks like a solid pick for Bey to hit his mark.

Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans: Keyonte George Under 5.5 Assists (+180)

Keyonte George has been doing great lately, but his assists can be tricky. At home, he averages 4.5 assists, while on the road, that goes up just a bit to 5.3. The game against the New Orleans Pelicans could see him struggle to hit more than 5.5 assists since they have a solid defense and are tough on opposing players. The Pelicans force turnovers well and are tough on the boards, which might limit George's chances to dish out more assists. Plus, the Jazz have allowed a lot of three-point attempts, but that doesn't mean George will be able to find his teammates for easy shots. There's a real chance he finishes with fewer than 5.5 assists, so this bet feels smart.
