A look at three key numbers related to Saturday’s game at the Smoothie King Center between Utah and New Orleans (6 p.m., Fox Sports New Orleans, WRNO 99.5 FM):
95.0: Points per game allowed by the Pelicans in their two victories over the Jazz this season. Among New Orleans’ 23 wins in 2015-16, the 94 and 96 points allowed vs. Utah are the third- and fourth-best defensive performances (as measured in points given up). Only a 104-90 win over San Antonio on Nov. 20 and a 115-89 thrashing of Portland on Dec. 23 rank higher on that list.
