Utah Jazz Betting Preview 

The Utah Jazz were struggling during their three-game losing streak, but they bounced back and will be feeling much better after outlasting the Celtics in a 105-103 road win on Monday. Keyonte George led the team with 31 points on nine of 16 shooting, Lauri Markkanen added 20 points with nine rebounds while Jusuf Nurkic chipped in with 11 points, 11 rebounds and four assists. As a team, the Jazz shot 45 percent from the field and nine of 31 from the 3-point line as they struggled to get going.

They scored just 15 points in the second quarter to fall behind by 14 points, before they turned the tide with 38 points in the third quarter. The Jazz looked in trouble when they squandered a nine-point lead in the fourth quarter but with the scores tied it was Jusuf Nurkic who saved the day with the game-winning shot with just 0.6 seconds left on the clock.

Detroit Pistons Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons have been in great form as they’ve won five of their last six games overall and they will be aiming for a fourth straight victory after beating the Grizzlies in a 114-106 road win on Monday. Cade Cunningham led the team with 33 points and eight assists on 12 of 20 shooting, Isaiah Stewart added 26 points with 14 rebounds and four blocks while Jalen Duren chipped in with 14 points, nine rebounds and three assists.

As a team, the Pistons shot 50 percent from the field and 10 of 31 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Grizzlies from the start and led by as many as 21 points. They survived a late scare after their lead was cut to just three points with 3:09 left on the clock.

Utah Jazz vs Detroit Pistons Prediction

The Jazz are still playing without Georges Niang and Walker Kessler, while the Pistons have ruled out Tobias Harris, Marcus Sasser and Jaden Ivey. The Pistons have been playing great basketball so it’s no surprise to see them as heavy favorites at home, but they are missing some players and could look past this young Jazz team. The Pistons should still have more than enough to get the job done if Cunningham can have another big game, but I got a feeling the Jazz hang around and keep this one to single digits in the end.
