What to Know

The Jazz are 8-2 against the Pistons since January of 2019, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Thursday. Having just played yesterday, the Utah Jazz will head out on the road to face off against the Detroit Pistons at 7:00 p.m. ET on December 21st at Little Caesars Arena. The Pistons do have the home-court advantage, but the Jazz are expected to win by a single point.

It's hard to win when you don't work as a unit and post ten fewer assists than your opponent, a fact the Jazz found out the hard way on Wednesday. They took a 124-116 hit to the loss column at the hands of Cleveland.

The Jazz struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only six offensive rebounds. That's the fewest offensive rebounds they've managed all season.

Meanwhile, the Pistons' recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Monday after their 24th straight loss. They took a 130-124 hit to the loss column at the hands of Atlanta. The defeat unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for the Pistons in their matchups with the Hawks: they've now lost six in a row.

The losing side was boosted by Cade Cunningham, who scored 43 points along with seven assists and five rebounds. Those 43 points set a new season-high mark for him.

Utah's defeat dropped their record down to 10-18. As for Detroit, they bumped their record down to 2-25 with that defeat, which was their 12th straight on the road.

The Jazz strolled past the Pistons when the teams last played back in December of 2022 by a score of 126-111. Will the Jazz repeat their success, or do the Pistons have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
