The New Orleans Pelicans (20-32) will host the Utah Jazz (33-19) on Wednesday evening at 7pm CST, marking the first meeting of the season between these two teams. Both Fox Sports New Orleans and Root Sports will televise the game while WRNO 99.5 FM will provide the action over the airwaves.
Less than two short years ago, the Jazz and Pelicans were commonly grouped together in the next wave of up and coming teams to watch in the Western Conference. The Pelicans were expected to build on a 45-win season while the Jazz were primed to reach the postseason for the first time since the 2011-12 campaign.
