Detroit Pistons vs. Utah Jazz Betting Preview
Cade Cunningham has been unstoppable early this season, and bettors are taking notice. The Detroit Pistons guard has averaged 28 points and 12 assists during the team’s three-game winning streak. Detroit, now 5-2, looks to keep rolling when it hosts the Utah Jazz on Wednesday at Little Caesars Arena.
Cunningham poured in 33 points in a 114-106 win over Memphis, including 19 in the fourth quarter. Isaiah Stewart added 26 points and 14 rebounds in place of the injured Tobias Harris.
Utah snapped a three-game skid with a 105-103 win over Boston, led by Keyonte George’s 31 points. The Jazz are 3-4 and trying to regain consistency as they continue their five-game road trip.
Line Movement and Odds
According to the latest NBA odds the Pistons opened at -10.5 and have moved slightly to -11. The total opened at 230 and has dropped to 229.5, signaling light sharp money on the Under.
The Pistons have covered three of their last four, while Utah is 1-3 ATS on the road. Public money leans toward Detroit, but early sharp action hit Utah at double digits.
Matchup Breakdown
Detroit Outlook:
The Pistons rank top five in defensive efficiency, holding opponents to 42.9 percent shooting. Their inside scoring and rebounding have fueled their 5-2 start. Cunningham has delivered consecutive double-doubles and looks like an early All-Star favorite.
Utah Outlook:
The Jazz lead the league in rebounds per game (49.6), a major factor in keeping games close. They also rank among the NBA’s best in free throws made per game (24.9). However, their perimeter defense has been inconsistent, allowing 118.4 points per game in losses.
Detroit’s pace and backcourt strength should challenge Utah’s defensive rotations, but the Jazz’s length on the boards gives them second-chance potential.
