The in-form Detroit Pistons are away to the lowly Utah Jazz in their next assignment in the NBA. They are coming into this match with the sixth-best record in the Eastern Conference, whereas the Jazz are at rock bottom in the West. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Jazz have won the last four meetings with the Pistons. They won the reverse match back in December 126-119. Will Hardy’s men will hope for a similar outcome as they return to action for the second night of a back-to-back.

The Jazz, who have lost eight times in their last 11 games, are coming off a 128-121 home loss to fellow West strugglers the Pelicans. They have now lost 45 of 60 games, which is the third-worst return.

The Pistons are in terrific form and will arrive here fully confident of ending the Jazz’s winning run against them. J.B. Bickerstaff’s men are in their best run of results and look primed for an automatic playoff spot.

They have won nine of their last 10 games, and this run has seen them improve to a 34-27 record. The Pistons, who returned to winning ways with a 115-94 home victory against the Nets, are five games clear of the play-in bracket.

Long-term absentee Jaden Ivey is the only player listed in Detroit’s latest injury report.
