One of the big concerns for the Pistons is the health of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, as he is averaging 14.5 ppg and he left the Warriors game early, scoring no points, with a shoulder injury.
He is listed as questionable for this game.
Besides Caldwell-Pope every Detroit starters scored at least 12 points and the offense was not the issue, but they could not stop the Warriors from lighting it up from deep.
The Pistons are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games facing the Jazz in Utah.
This season the Pistons are 8-14 on the road.

I will go with them again, as this should be a low scoring defensive effort and the Jazz will win, but they will have a little letdown after their big win over Cleveland.
