The New Orleans Pelicans head to Salt Lake City to meet the Utah Jazz at Vivint Arena on Tuesday.
The Pelicans are riding high from snapping a five-game losing streak when they beat the Sacramento Kings 128-123 on Sunday. They will be hard-pressed to follow up that victory with a second consecutive win as the Jazz are one of the top teams in the league with a 9-4 record.
Moreover, the Jazz are on a five-game winning streak after Sunday’s 108-104 victory over the Denver Nuggets. It was the first meeting between the two teams since the Utah Jazz rallied from a 3-1 deficit to win their first-round playoff series last season. Donovan Mitchell leads the team in scoring with 23.2 points per game this season.
Meanwhile, the Pelicans have two 20-point scorers in Brandon Ingram (23.3) and Zion Williamson (22.6).

Ball’s return appears to be going as scheduled. The Pelicans guard said that he had been enduring knee pain for some time, which prompted team officials to give him time off.
