Smart Game Analysis
Detroit Pistons has a 74% chance of winning the game
The 24-6 Pistons enter Salt Lake City on a three-game winning streak, boasting a top-5 defense that should stifle the defensively challenged Jazz.
Key Analysis
- • Utah's defense ranks last in the NBA (127.4 PPG allowed) and will struggle to contain Detroit's efficient attack.
- • The absence of rim protector Walker Kessler leaves the Jazz vulnerable in the paint against Jalen Duren and Cade Cunningham.
- • Detroit dominates the glass with a +5.6 rebounding differential, the second-best mark in the league.
- • The Pistons have won 9 of their last 11 games, while the Jazz are reeling from four consecutive losses.
- • Cade Cunningham is averaging 26.4 points and 9.4 assists, giving Detroit a clear playmaker advantage over Utah's backcourt.
- • To pull off an upset, the Jazz must exploit their home-court advantage where they are 12-5 against the spread this season.
