Jazz vs Pistons Prediction
The Jazz are coming into this matchup as a 10.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jazz have not been playing well in their recent games but they have been sitting a lot of their starters in their recent games. The Jazz played all of their starters in their last game against the Pacers and they lost that game while trailing the whole time. That loss will not sit well with them as they have one of the best teams in the NBA this season so they will be looking to bounce back here. The Pistons are awful and have one of the worst records in the NBA. They are coming off of a win in their last game but against the Magic who are just as bad as they are. The Pistons got blown out in their game prior to their last one that they won and they will likely get blown out again in this game too. The best bet to place in this game is on the Utah Jazz as they should be almost at full strength for this game and will be looking to make a statement after losing to the Pacers the other night.
