Game Preview
The Detroit Pistons (2-25) and Utah Jazz (10-18) square off on December 21 at Little Caesars Arena.
Utah, which lost to Cleveland 124-116 in their last game, will be playing the second of two back-to-back games on the road after being defeated by 9 points in the 4th quarter. The Jazz (10–18) shot 51% from the field and handed the ball away16 times. Superstar F Lauri Markkanen scored 26 points (8–18 FG) and pulled down 10 rebounds, leading 5 Utah players in double figures, while 20 points were scored by Collin Sexton on 7 of 17 shots from the field. The Jazz, who were 2-13 away from home, had 19 points and 11 assists from Talen Horton-Tucker. The Jazz have a solid 8-5 record when competing in Salt Lake City, but their terrible road record of 2-13, the worst in the West, occurs when they travel. At -16.2, the Jazz have the lowest average scoring margin in the NBA when playing away from home.
The Detroit Pistons are currently experiencing a 24-game losing run, which is a team record. They need 4 more defeats to tie Philadelphia’s 28-game NBA losing streak. The Pistons (2-25) give up 120.8 points per game and are among the least effective defensive teams in the NBA. In their last game, Detroit lost 130-124 on the road while allowing Atlanta to convert on 54% from the field. Cade Cunningham, a former first overall draft pick, scored a game-high 43 points (16–24 FG) and dished 7 assists while Bojan Bogdanovic scored 25 points for the Pistons, who made 51% of their field goals on 9 of his 17 shots. Considering the Pistons are 2-25 on the year, it’s hard to grasp how awful they’ve been. With their current points differential of -11.9, they are fourth in the history of the league, and they are only 3 losses from tying the NBA’s mark for the most consecutive losses.
