UTA vs NOP Dream11 Team Prediction Basketball, NBA Regular Season, Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans, 20 January

UTA VS NOP Dream11 Team Prediction, NBA Regular Season: UTA vs NOP Dream11 Basketball Match Season match-up: The Utah Jazz will enter this contest after beating Denver Nuggets by 4 points in an Away fixture, a game in which Jordan Clarkson contributed 23 points off the bench and gave the Jazz a lot of offensive firepowers. On the other hand, the New Orleans Pelicans won against the Sacramento Kings on road, behind Zion Williamson’s 31 points, and in a game where Eric Bledsoe came to life with 21 points. The Utah Jazz is one of the hottest teams in the league, winning 9 of their 13 games, and their defense has aided them a lot in gaining such a record. The young Pelicans are still looking for consistency and the guard position has become more vulnerable especially since Lonzo Ball has been down. The Jazz has the intimidating Stifle Tower Rudy Gobert in their team who has made it tough to score in the paint, thus teams have forced their shots against the Jazz. The New Orleans Pelicans will hope that they get a great mix of inside-outside scoring against a great defensive team. More details about UTA vs NOP Dream11 Fantasy line-up will be related here.

UTA vs NOP Dream11 Match Prediction
Utah Jazz is a better defensive side than the New Orleans Pelicans and has more experience and talent at the Guard positions and the Center position which makes them a formidable foe. Pelicans will need to reassess their game plans and adjust to the intensity of Utah Jazz, who has the reputation of closing the route to the paint. Steven Adams will have to keep Rudy Gobert busy and Eric Bledsoe will have his work cut on both ends against Mike Conley. The Jazz will need to contain the Forward combo of Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram as they can stack up points in a hurry.

Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans, Key Players:
Brandon Ingram
PPG: 23.3
RPG: 6.3
APG: 5.1
Brandon has generated consistently on the offensive side, and apart from his scoring, his playmaking abilities have also improved. He has become a total package and a great piece alongside Zion Williamson in the long-term for the Pelicans. However, he’d like his squad to add more wins to their bag and raise their level of play. He posted 22 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, and 1 steal in the win against the Sacramento Kings. Brandon can be considered as a Super-Player pick in the Dream11 Fantasy basketball set-up.

Rudy Gobert
PPG: 12.2
RPG: 13.3
BPG: 2.7
Rudy is a defensive force and a double-double machine that creates terror in the minds of players who like to score close to the basket. He has started the season in a destructive mode and helped his team win games by locking in on the defensive end. He is coming off 15 points, 13 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 blocks performance in the win against the Denver Nuggets.

Zion Williamson
PPG: 22.6
RPG: 8.3
SPG: 1.1
The Forward has lived up to the hype around him so far and has begun the season in a fantastic manner.

He registered an incredible 31 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists in the win against the Denver Nuggets.
