The New Orleans Pelicans have been rolling of late and will go for their fourth consecutive win tonight, but it won’t come easy. The Utah Jazz have lost just once in eight tries at home on the season; however, there is a silver lining — Rudy Gobert was ruled out moments ago with a sprained left ankle.
Gobert’s averages of 17.0 points, 15.7 rebounds and 3.7 blocks over the previous six games jump off the page, and the rest of the Jazz will be hard pressed to replace even half of that production behind him.
