The New Orleans Pelicans will once again square up against the Utah Jazz in an NBA 2021-22 regular-season game at the Vivint Arena on Saturday. The two teams met on Friday, which ended with a three-point game-winner from Devonte' Graham to give the Pelicans a win on the night.
Brandon Ingram scored 21 points and secured eight rebounds to ease things up for the Pels. It was a brilliant defensive effort from them in the fourth quarter that helped them get a 98-97 win. They will hope to grab another win at the Vivint on Saturday to improve their record for the season.
Meanwhile, the loss to the Pels was Utah's seventh of the season. They have now lost two of their three games, and need to bring back their consistency back to be counted as one of the top teams in the West. The Jazz will come into the game hoping to avenge their defeat against the Pels earlier this season.
