Utah is on a 5-3 SU/ATS run anchored by strong defense, sixth in the NBA in points allowed, while the offense is #11 in field goal shooting. And the offense is red-hot, averaging 120.7 points over the last three games. Utah had to play last night, but got to use its bench a lot in a 117-91 blowout win at Cleveland. They face a Detroit Pistons squad on a 4-12 SU, 5-10-1 ATS run, home from a four-game road trek. Detroit is #24 in the NBA in scoring, #29 in field goal shooting (.432) and three-point shooting (.328), plus #25 from the free throw line. The Jazz are 20-8 ATS in the last 28 meetings, including 11-2 ATS at Detroit. Play Utah.
