Detroit @ Utah

What to Know

The Detroit Pistons are staying on the road Friday to face off against the Utah Jazz at 9 p.m. ET Jan. 21 at Vivint Arena. The Pistons aren’t expected to win, but seeing as the odds didn’t stop them last game, maybe the team has another upset up their sleeve.

It was a close one, but on Wednesday Detroit sidestepped the Sacramento Kings for a 133-131 victory. Detroit can attribute much of their success to small forward Saddiq Bey, who shot 5-for-9 from beyond the arc and finished with 30 points and seven boards. Bey had some trouble finding his footing against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, so this was a step in the right direction.

Speaking of close games: Utah was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap on Wednesday as they fell 116-111 to the Houston Rockets. This was hardly the result Utah or its fans were betting on, as they were favored by 14 points over Houston heading into this contest. A silver lining for the Jazz was the play of center Rudy Gobert, who had 23 points in addition to nine rebounds.

The Pistons’ win brought them up to 11-33 while Utah’s loss pulled them down to 29-16. Two offensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Detroit has only been able to knock down 41.80% percent of their shots, which is the second lowest field goal percentage in the league. Utah’s offense has more to brag about, as they they enter the matchup with a 47.50% field goal percentage, which is the best in the league. We’ll see if their 5.70% advantage translates to a win.
