Pistons vs Jazz Prediction
The Pistons are still a little shorthanded with Monte Morris and Isaiah Stewart both out, while the Jazz are coming into this one with a full roster to choose from. The Pistons have been historically bad this season and they certainly didn’t look great in their blowout loss to the Rockets, while the Jazz have been quietly playing some of their best basketball of the season. The line is a bit hefty, but the Jazz shouldn’t have too much trouble getting the home win in this spot.
