The road Pistons come into this off a road contest against the Denver Nuggets, a game where they were 9-point underdogs.
The home Jazz come into this one off a 121-114 loss against the LA Clippers. They entered that one as 2.5-point road underdogs and failed to cover for the first time in 3 outings.
On the year, Detroit is 8-9-1 against the spread. Utah is 12-7 ATS to match their SU record.
These two teams have not met yet during the 2022-23 regular season and won’t see each other again until about a month out on Tuesday, Dec. 20.
Detroit Pistons
Editor’s note: The Detroit Pistons still have a game to play Tuesday night. All SU and ATS records will be updated post-game, but stats below are current entering games on Tuesday, Nov. 22.
The Pistons have no interest in winning this season owning their own draft pick (should it fall between Nos. 1 and 18) and, more specifically, with Victor Wembanyama on the line as the obvious Top Pick-slash-Next Gen talent.
But you never want to see the face of your franchise out with an injury, and that’s what the team is dealing with, as Cade Cunningham is sidelined indefinitely.
It hasn’t been confirmed, but early discussion shows genuine concern he may be out for the remainder of the 2022-23 season.
Saddiq Bey is also set to miss at least the next two games.
On the year, Detroit is scoring 109.4 points per contest, which puts the team in 24th.
In terms of advanced stats, the Pistons score 106.1 points per 100 possessions. That number places them in 26th.
Defensively, this groups allows 118.6 points per night, putting them in 29th so far this season ahead of only the No. 30 San Antonio Spurs.
Looking at Defensive Efficiency, Detroit gives up 116 points per 100 possessions—a number that ranks dead last 30th on the year.
Utah Jazz
Utah has gone through some distinct phases already this season. Opening the year, they were the league’s most unabashed tanking franchise as far as Danny Ainge and the front office were concerned. But they immediately became the darlings of the NBA with a shocking 10-3 record straight up.
Of course, what goes up must come down, and the Jazz did just that dropping three straight.
In the hot-take world, this team was back to tanking. But since then, the team is back to 2-1 SU in its last three, landing us in the current, probably most accurate phase: just being a good, normal, competitive basketball team.
On the year, the Jazz are scoring 117.4 points per game. That number puts them in 3rd across the NBA so far this season.
Looking at the advanced stats, they’re scoring 112.4 points per 100 possessions—a number that puts them in 6th, which is tied with the Denver Nuggets.
Defensively, Utah is giving up 114.5 points per night, which ranks 22nd in the NBA during the first month-plus of the 2022-23 regular season.
Looking at Defensive Efficiency, the Jazz give up 110 points per game, putting them in 17th across the Association.
On the injury report, Utah lists Rudy Gay as OUT while Mike Conley is expected to be re-evaluated ahead of the contest.

Free Detroit Pistons vs. Utah Jazz NBA Prediction:
Eleven-and-a-half points is a lot for a team “coming back to Earth” but the Jazz are going up against a team that’s just getting harder to trust.
Give this one to the home Jazz convincingly.
