Jazz Faceoff Against Pistons

Wednesday March 10th at 7:35 pm Eastern – NBA-TV

Salt Lake City's Utah Jazz was known as a team that struggled to win on the road but this NBA betting season.  The Jazz have been right around the .500 mark all season when not playing at home & that's a major difference for this year’s team compared to last years as the opposite held true. The Jazz in the 2009-2010 season have proven they are tough in road games. "We have more confidence on the road now," said Deron Williams. "We realize if we come and create our own energy and play with intensity on defense and get stops, then we'll have a chance to win ballgames."

The Utah Jazz are listed as 5.5 -point favorite with a total of 202.5 over at Online SportsBook SBG Global.

This is a key trip for the Jazz as they still have to play at Milwaukee and Oklahoma City. "We have to prove, not only to ourselves but to everyone else, that we can win on the road consistently," said Carlos Boozer. "This is a good test for our team. When the NBA betting playoffs get here, we've got to win on the road. ... So we're looking forward to it."

Utah needs to start playing well from start to finish on the road. They have rallied from big deficits but that is not the way to consistently win games.
"We'd rather not have to come back," said Boozer. "We'd rather be ahead the whole game, of course. But we do have a lot of resiliency. We have a lot of faith and belief in what we're able to do. If we happen to be in that situation, we know we can come back and win the game."   One thing to keep an eye on in this NBA betting game is the status of Detroit’s leading scorer Rodney Stuckey who is questionable.

The Jazz are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 vs. the Central. The Jazz are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games playing on no rest. The Jazz are 36-15-3 ATS in their last 54 games overall. The Jazz are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Detroit.

The Pistons are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 vs. the Northwest. The Pistons are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 home games.

The Over is 6-1 in Utah’s last 7 overall. The Over is 7-3 in Utah’s last 10 games playing on no rest. The Over is 5-2 in the Pistons last 7 home games. The Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Detroit.
