Whether you want to become a bookie or not, you have to admit that the clash between the Jazz and the Pistons this Saturday night is going to be fairly interesting.
The Jazz are the better team, to be sure, but they are not very strong on the road and, moreover, will be taken through the grind of a bad stretch on their schedule.
The Jazz play a road game in Charlotte on Wednesday, then a roadie at Atlanta on Friday, and must then fly north to Detroit for this game on a Saturday. It's true that Detroit plays a road game on Friday night, but that game is in nearby Milwaukee.
Detroit will get to a bed much earlier than the Jazz will on Friday night or early Saturday morning. Expect the Pistons to have a lot more energy than the Jazz in this game, and that's so often the difference in the middle of the long slog that is an 82-game NBA season. It's just part of life in the league.
My Pick: Detroit
