A weak Detroit team has a losing record, but is favored. The Pistons are off to a slow start at the offensive end, 29th in the NBA in scoring and 28th in assists. The Pistons are 3-14 ATS in their last 17 home games and on an 0-5 ATS run overall. The Utah Jazz knocked off LeBron James and Cleveland on Wednesday, and the team is 4-1 ATS on one day's rest. Offense has not been a problem with Gordon Hayward (18 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists) leading a group of six double-digit scorers. Hayward is an NBA-best 24-for-24 from the foul line while Utah guard Alec Burks has scored in double figures in every game this season and 35 of his last 36 dating to last season. The Jazz is 17-8 ATS following a double-digit loss at home. Utah likes playing Detroit, winning 15 of the last 17 against the Pistons! The road team is 11-5 ATS when they meet, and Utah is 8-1 ATS the last nine meetings here in Detroit, so grab the dog. Play the Utah Jazz.
