New Orleans Pelicans at Utah Jazz: Zion Williamson OVER 22.5 points (-120, BetMGM)
With a short three-game betting card in the NBA, this one’s turning into a popular prop. Every other book on OddsShopper is showing at least -150 juice on the over, so anything better than -130 is a play for me.
Williamson has been scoring the ball well lately, going for at least 24 points in five of his last six games and averaging 27.2 points per game during that six-game span. He had his best outing in his last game in this exact matchup, scoring 32 points in Utah. The Jazz have been one of the worst teams defending the paint this season, and that’s obviously where Williamson feasts — he shot 14-for-19 from the field in Tuesday’s matchup. I’ll trust Williamson to keep rolling in a spot that lines up well for him.
