You need rebounding muscle up front when facing the physical Jazz and Detroit has it with Center Andre Drummond (18 ppg, 16 rpg) and PF Blake Griffin (15.5 ppg). Drummond has 10 double-doubles in his last 11 contests. Utah is a big favorite but prefers a slower pace, ranked #22 in points scored. Utah is home after playing 10 of the last 16 on the road -- and they play their next three away from home. NBA home favorites off an upset win as a road underdog are 35-69 ATS in non-conference games, so back the big dog. Take Detroit.
