Utah Jazz at Detroit Pistons 3/7/20 - NBA Picks & Predictions

In Saturday night NBA action, the Utah Jazz will invade Little Caesars Arena to battle the Detroit Pistons. This will be the second of a back-to-back for Utah, who built a 12-point halftime lead and held on for a 99-94 road victory against Boston last night. The Jazz (40-22) never trailed during the second half and limited the Celtics to 37 percent shooting.

Utah G Mike Conley knocked down 6-for-10 from the three-point line and finished with a team-high 25 points. Jordan Clarkson chipped in 17 points and four rebounds in 27 minutes off the bench.

On Wednesday, Detroit rallied from a 16-point deficit before falling down the stretch of a 114-107 home victory versus Oklahoma City. The Pistons (20-43) outrebounded the Thunder by eight and connected on 18-for-43 from long distance.
