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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Pelicans take on the Jazz, all eyes will be on Ace Bailey, but I'm feeling inclined to bet against him. While Bailey's been exceptional lately, boasting a perfect hit rate for threes in his last four away games, there's a case to be made against him hitting that mark tonight. The Jazz play tight perimeter defense, and their ability to limit opponents' three-point attempts could stifle Bailey's rhythm. Moreover, with the intensity of this matchup, he may find himself more focused on setting up teammates than launching from beyond the arc. The numbers tell a story: Bailey averages under 2.5 threes in similar matchups, and as he navigates a hostile Utah environment, I wouldn't be surprised to see him fall short tonight. So, let's ride the under on Bailey's threes made and expect him to have a quieter evening from downtown.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Utah Jazz gear up to face the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes should be on Kyle Filipowski, particularly when it comes to his rebounding. Despite his impressive overall average of 10.4 boards in his last five games, his performance takes a dip on the road, where he's logged just 8.2 rebounds per game. Against the Pelicans, he averages 8.4 rebounds, and this figure drops to 9.5 when playing away. With the Jazz's recent trend showing Filipowski hitting the under in five of his last six road outings, the evidence is mounting against him reaching that 9.5 mark. Plus, his overall hit rate over the last 12 games stands at a solid 75%, but when we narrow it down to away games, that hit rate is more telling. Targeting the under on his rebounding total feels like a savvy move as Filipowski navigates the Pelicans' frontcourt.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the New Orleans Pelicans face off against the Utah Jazz, keep an eye on Cody Williams for the under on rebounds at 4.5. Sure, he's averaged 5 boards over his last five games, but the nuances tell a different story. When hitting the road, his numbers dip to 4.4, and against Utah, he's only pulling down about 2 boards per game as a visitor. In fact, Williams has hit the under in 7 of his last 9 games, with a solid 3 out of 4 on the road. This matchup could further challenge him, as the Jazz's frontcourt has been formidable lately, limiting opponents' second-chance opportunities. With an expected stat value of just 3.7 and an implied probability hovering around 51.5%, betting under feels like an informed move. Trust the trends-this could be a game where Williams struggles to find his rhythm on the glass.
