With a win tonight, the Detroit Pistons would sweep the season-series against the Utah Jazz for the first time since January 2016. A win tonight for either team would also avoid a potential three-game losing streak.
While there’s rarely a night this Pistons outfit should be favored, the Jazz will be playing on the second night of a back-to-back after a loss in Cleveland last night.
Utah will also be without the services of Kelly Olynyk and Colin Sexton, two players who started in Detroit’s encounter with the Jazz in late November.
