The Utah Jazz, with a 10-19 record, find themselves in 12th place in the Western Conference and are on a four-game losing streak. Despite this, their offensive prowess remains, averaging 119.9 points per game. Lauri Markkanen has been a standout performer, averaging 27.8 points and 7.1 rebounds, making him a key offensive player for the Jazz. Backcourt player Jordan Clarkson contributes 23.9 points and 6.8 assists per game, forming a 'dual-core' with Markkanen, supporting the team's league-second 30 assists and league-first 22.7 free throws made per game. However, the Jazz's defensive shortcomings are evident. Utah Jazz will host the Detroit Pistons in a game that promises strategic battles. In their last 10 games, the Jazz have shown stable performance, with a 46.5% field goal percentage, a slight improvement from the regular season, and a boosted three-point shooting accuracy of 38.2%. They also average 44.8 rebounds per game while providing around 30 assists, demonstrating a balanced offensive and organizational capability. A noteworthy aspect on the defensive side is the slight decrease in turnovers to just over 12, implying an improved team cohesion. Utah Jazz +9.5
