Jeremiah Fears Pelicans 2025
New Orleans Pelicans vs Utah Jazz Picks and Prediction: Markkanen Out, Murray Out, and a Total Priced Like Neither Team Checked the Injury Report

The New Orleans Pelicans (18-42) make the short trip back to Delta Center on Saturday, February 28 for a rematch against the Utah Jazz (18-41), tipping off at 9:30 PM ET, with Lauri Markkanen confirmed out after a practice injury and Keyonte George questionable with an ankle issue that has already cost him six straight games, while Dejounte Murray sits this one out for New Orleans after playing Thursday for the first time since January 2025, as two of the Western Conference's worst teams run it back 48 hours after the Pelicans won 129-118 in this exact building, with the market opening New Orleans as a 6.5 to 7-point road favorite and a total of 245 that sits 12 points above what these rosters actually average together on a given night.

Portland Trail Blazers vs Charlotte Hornets Picks and Prediction: A Depleted Portland Squad Walks Into Charlotte's Hottest Stretch of the Season

The Portland Trail Blazers (29-31) limp into Spectrum Center to face the Charlotte Hornets (29-31) on Saturday, February 28, tipping off at 1:00 PM ET, with Deni Avdija listed as doubtful for a third straight game due to a back issue and Shaedon Sharpe confirmed out with a stress reaction in his left fibula and Donovan Clingan questionable after missing Portland's last game with an illness, putting a Trail Blazers squad that runs the league's worst turnover rate against a Charlotte team that has transformed into one of the NBA's hottest outfits since the calendar flipped to 2026, now leading the league in net rating since January 1 and covering at the best clip in the Association over the last 20 games. The Hornets open as 7.5-point home favorites in what could easily be a ten-point game the moment the official injury designations drop Saturday morning.

Kevin Durant Rockets
Houston Rockets vs. Miami Heat Picks and Prediction: KD on a B2B Clouds a Juicy Underdog Spot in South Beach

The Houston Rockets (37-21), riding a three-game win streak and sitting third in the Western Conference, travel to Kaseya Center to face the Miami Heat (31-29) on Saturday, February 28, tipping off at 3:30 PM ET, with Houston playing the second leg of a back-to-back after a 113-108 win over Orlando on Thursday and arriving in Miami missing four rotation players, while the Heat enter without leading scorer Norman Powell (groin, week-to-week) and Nikola Jovic (back), setting up a matchup where Kevin Durant just dropped 40 points two nights ago and a Houston squad ranked third in defensive rating squares off against a Miami team playing fast, fighting for a play-in spot at home, and carrying a 13-7-1 ATS record as an underdog of three or more points on the season.
