Detroit Pistons vs Utah Jazz Prediction
The Pistons continue to pile up the wins and have the ability to win this game comfortably, but oddsmakers keep throwing out these inflated lines. Despite the victories, the Pistons are 3-6-1 ATS in their last 10 games. Since November 24, the Pistons are 1-5 ATS when favorites of 8 or more points. The Jazz are getting healthier, as we’re not seeing Markkanen on the injury report. Also, the Jazz has seen 7 of their 10 wins come at home. The Jazz are 10-5 ATS in their last 15 games as a home underdog. I’ll take my chances with the points.
