The Pistons had success with a zone defense against the Suns, enabling Detroit to pull off a huge overtime win. Utah also is coming off a monster win, in Milwaukee. While the Jazz have won eight straight meetings, this is too many points. Look for Utah to regress a bit after nailing 25 3-pointers versus the Bucks.
Give the Pistons credit, they’ve been playing teams tough. They might have a 2-7 record, but they are 5-4 ATS - including 3-1 ATS as home underdogs. This is not part of a back-to-back set, so Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose should play their normal amount of minutes. Meanwhile, the Jazz are off to a slow start and are only 2-5 ATS as favorites. While I think Utah wins, this line is large enough that I like taking a chance on the points.
