The Utah Jazz will take on the Detroit Pistons post-Christmas as the season moves along. The Jazz are coming into this game with a 10-19 record and are now on a 4-game losing streak. But this is likely where the Jazz want to be at this point in the season. Utah has proven they play well at home, but struggle on the road. In reality, they’re on the precipice of being a good team in the league, they’re just one more piece away from being relevant in the league, maybe more.
The Detroit Pistons are the
#1 team in the league, and it starts with their defense, which ranks #2. They’re getting elite play from their #1 draft pick, Cade Cunningham, and Jalen Duran is becoming an absolute star at the center position. Utah will likely struggle with the Pistons’ perimeter defense from guys like Ausar Thompson, who bring an intense level of pressure every night.
For Utah, they’ll be at full strength with a clean injury report.
Don’t worry, Adam Silver, you can rest easy tonight.
