Pistons at Jazz picks and predictions
Prediction
Jazz 111, Pistons 106
Moneyline
Even with the Jazz being better than expected thus far, I’ll PASS on the moneyline. Taking Utah (-700) to win straight up isn’t worth the risk at the current odds, especially with how much you’d receive if the Jazz were to win.
Against the spread
Despite the Pistons being on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back, I don’t know if the Jazz are capable of beating them by 12 or more points. Considering that, PISTONS +11.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning in this contest.
The Pistons are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings with the Jazz and they are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Meanwhile, the Jazz are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
Over/Under
UNDER 229.5 (-110) appears to be the ideal wager in this game despite both of these teams being top 14 in pace this season. That being said, the Pistons aren’t expected to have Cunningham available and Conley is sidelined for the Jazz, so neither team will likely push the pace as much as usual.
The Under is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings between the Pistons and the Jazz in Utah and its 11-4 in the last 15 meetings overall.
