Thursday evening in the NBA sees an inter-conference clash as Detroit hosts Utah at the Little Caesars Arena. The Pistons come into this contest sitting 10th in the East at 11-16 while the Jazz are 14th in the West at 5-20. Here’s our match prediction.
The Pistons should be in good spirits following their 125-124 overtime win over the Heat on Monday. Cade Cunningham stuffed the stat sheet with 20 points, 18 assists and 11 rebounds, which also included hitting what would be the winning shot with roughly 30 seconds remaining.
Detroit has now won two of their last three games to bring them to five games below .500 as they seek to end a five-year playoff drought. They haven’t had much of a home court advantage to speak of this season as they have a 5-7 record compared to 6-8 on the road.
It’s been a miserable campaign for the Jazz so far who possess the third-worst winning percentage in the NBA at .200. They were clobbered by the Clippers on Monday as they suffered a 144-107 road defeat.
The loss was Utah’s third in a row and their eighth out of the last 10 games overall. Their biggest weakness has undoubtedly been the defense. Their 120.8 points allowed is the third highest mark in the league.

Our Detroit Pistons vs Utah Jazz Prediction
Detroit have been scoring the ball really well, putting up 120+ points against some tough defenses lately, including the Boston Celtics when the two teams squared off earlier this month. They should have a lot of success against Utah, who rank as one of the worst defensive teams in the league.
The one thing the Jazz can do is score points, as evidenced by ranking 13th in road points per game average (112.3). The result should be a high-scoring game which goes over the posted total. Our Detroit Pistons vs Utah Jazz prediction: over 228.5 points.
