The Utah Jazz host the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on BetMGM.
The game tips off at 10:00 p.m. ET and can be seen on Fox Sports Detroit and AT&T SportsNet.
The Pistons’ scheduled game against the Nuggets on Monday night was called off at the last minute due to an inconclusive COVID-19 test, but the team has since been re-tested and was able to travel to Utah to play the Jazz.
Utah’s recent 11-game winning streak was snapped in Denver on Sunday, but star guard Donovan Mitchell is back in the lineup after returning from concussion protocol, and the Jazz are a huge favorite on Tuesday.

Advice and prediction
During Utah’s 11-game win stream, the Jazz covered the spread in each of their 11 wins, including twice as a double-digit favorite. The Jazz and Pistons have played once already this season in Detroit, with Utah winning 96-86.
I’m a little wary to lay so many points, but this is a matchup of a top-3 NBA team at home against a bottom-3 team. The Pistons just lost to the Warriors by 27 points earlier on their road trip. Take the Jazz -12.5.
I also like a player prop on Rudy Gobert over 13.5 rebounds at -135. Gobert is averaging that this season, and had 18 boards against the Pistons in their first matchup.
Prediction: Jazz 114, Pistons 95
