Zion Williamson, NBA’s latest Player of the Week recipient, looks to lead Pelicans in Utah

The New Orleans Pelicans have several chances to atone for an early season overtime loss to the Utah Jazz over the next three days.

After losing Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson to injuries in the midst of the season home opener, Kelly Olynyk flipped in a layup with 3.1 seconds left in the extra period to help the Jazz hand the Pelicans their first defeat of the year, 122-121.

Since that game, though, a lot has transpired. The Pelicans have steadily climbed up the standings after beginning the campaign with five wins in the first 10 games.
