Utah has seen some struggles as of late, losing five of their last six to drop to a 10-30 record on the season. As for the Pelicans, they've been on the opposite end of the spectrum by winning four of their last five to lift above the Jazz in the Western Conference.

In this new trade idea, the Utah Jazz make a run at an All-Star player from the New Orleans Pelicans. While Utah isn't seen as a contender in the Western Conference this season, this move would be more for the future of the team. Using the Spotrac trade machine and abiding by the CBA rules, here is what a deal between the two sides could look like:

As a potential record-breaking winter storm was bearing down on New Orleans, the Pelicans stormed back to beat the Jazz.

Zion Williamson highlighted a 24-point, 14-rebound performance with an array of thunderous dunks during a dominant fourth-quarter stint, and the New Orleans Pelicans beat the Utah Jazz 136-123 on Friday night to open a two-game set.

However, New Orleans found a rhythm early, led by CJ McCollum, who knocked down five 3-pointers in the first quarter alone. Utah has been vulnerable defensively on the perimeter this season, allowing opponents to take 40.7 percent of their overall shot attempts from deep, tied for the third-highest frequency in the league.

The Pelicans are favored by 11 points in the latest Pelicans vs. Jazz odds via SportsLine consensus, and the over/under is 231.5 points. Before entering any Jazz vs. Pelicans picks, you'll want to see the NBA predictions from the advanced computer model at SportsLine.

Only one more quarter stands between the Pelicans and the victory they were favored to collect coming into this evening. It's still anybody's game after three quarters, but they are currently ahead of the Jazz 105-103.

CJ McCollum scored 26 points, Zion Williamson had a double-double and the host New Orleans Pelicans defeated the Utah Jazz 136-123 on Friday night.

The New Orleans Pelicans made franchise history in Monday night's win over the Utah Jazz behind an incredible performance from C.J. McCollum.

The loss to the Pelicans moved the Jazz into last place in the Western Conference and their 10-30 record is the third worst in the NBA, exactly where they want to be (if not second or very worst) when the season ends in order to go into the draft lottery with the best possible odds at the No. 1 overall pick.

Los Angeles Lakers game that got postponed earlier this month due to the wildfires in Southern California will now take place on March 17 instead.
