Detroit Pistons vs Utah Jazz Prediction

The Detroit Pistons are playing their best ball in over a decade and have the rest advantage, so they should do dirty things to the Jazz. The Jazz played last night and they’re riddled with injuries as they’re clearly focused on getting a top draft pick. However, the Pistons will be without Harris, and this could be a look-ahead spot with the Clippers and Warriors on deck. The Jazz have also covered six of their last eight games, taking advantage of inflated numbers. We also can’t forget the Pistons are a young team still learning how to deal with expectations, so it wouldn’t be shocking to see them come out sluggish a bit. I’ll grab the boatload of points with the Jazz.
