Utah Jazz

Detroit Pistons

Utah is currently 20th in points, 21st in points allowed, and 22nd in point differential. Lauri Markkanen leads the team in points per game. The Jazz just ended a three-game losing streak and that win was their first road win of the season. Utah is now 1-3 on the road and the offense and defense are trending down. The road games have either been close games or blowout ones. Utah just had a solid defensive game and this game will come down to how much they can handle Cunningham. Even if the defense is there, will the offense be able to keep up with the Pistons' scoring depth?

Detroit is currently 19th in points, seventh in points allowed, and tied for ninth in point differential. Cunningham leads the team in points per game and assists. The Pistons have a good defense going for them and are allowing 112.4 points per game. Cunningham is almost averaging a double-double per game, and they have a solid young core going with Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson. The defense will be challenged by Markkanen and will try to limit his scoring as much as possible. Two of their last three wins have been by double digits.

Best Bet: Pistons Spread

Even though the Jazz just got an impressive road win against the Celtics, they will be going up against a hot Pistons team that is playing well on both sides of the ball and won by double digits in their last two home games. Detroit shoots well from the field, does well in the paint, and has a top 10 defense.
