Pistons at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 127, Pistons 114

Moneyline

PASS.

The Jazz (-375) are playing well and should come out on top at home; however, at -375, there's no value in betting them to win outright.

Against the spread

BET JAZZ -8.5 (-115).

The Jazz have covered in 6 straight games and in 9 of their last 11. They are surging and have covered in 4 straight home games. Utah has ample scoring to get and stay ahead of Detroit.

The Pistons may be 3-1 ATS over their last 4 but are just 4-9 ATS over their last 13.

They are also tied for the 5th-worst road-covering percentage in the NBA at 41.2%, so they haven't performed well this season in this situation.

Take JAZZ -8.5 (-115).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 239.5 (-115).

The Jazz are 18-15-1 O/U on the season and 6-5-1 O/U in their last 12. Utah has scored at least 125 points in 3 of its last 5 games. The Pistons and Jazz are 6th and 11th in pace, respectively, so this should be a high-tempo game as both teams will look to run often.

The Pistons are 21-12 O/U on the season and have gone Over in 4 straight games. They have scored 122 or more in 2 of their last 3 and have allowed 235 or more in 4 of their last 5.

Considering the trends for both teams, take OVER 239.5 (-115).
