Indiana completely outclassed the Jazz. Utah’s team offense just did not take off, with only three players scoring in double figures.

Jazz vs Pistons Preview
Although the Utah Jazz remains a top-three team in the Western Conference, they will enter this game with some negative momentum. Following their most recent defeat against the Indiana Pacers, the Jazz is on a two-game losing streak due to the absence of their star big man. Utah has sought to compensate by inserting Hassan Whiteside into the starting lineup, but the results have been mixed.
This season, the Detroit Pistons have been one of the most disappointing teams. The Pistons are now one position out of the Eastern Conference’s worst seeding, despite having a future superstar in youngster Cade Cunningham. Their victory over the Orlando Magic is one of their few victories this season.
