It’s finally happened! No, not the Pistons winning, but at least oddsmakers think they can!

Detroit is favored over the Utah Jazz by two points tonight at some sportsbooks – just the third time it’s been favored to win a game all season long.

A litany of key injuries to the Jazz have caused this line to swing in the Pistons’ favor, but a win is a win and we DESPERATELY need one right now to avoid being an ugly footnote in NBA history!

Pistons News: Detroit Favored By 2 Points Over Utah

Utah will be missing several impact players tonight, including: Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson, Talen Horton-Tucker and Keyonte George. 

That’s 62.2 points per game missing from the lineup!

Detroit is still without Jalen Duren and Monte Morris, with Killian Hayes listed as a game-time decision, but this squad should be able to beat a HEAVILY depleted Jazz team. 

Still, it says a lot that the Pistons are only two-point favorites on their home court. 

Detroit is two games away from tying the NBA record for the most consecutive losses in one season – the 2010-11 Cavs and 2013-14 Sixers each lost 26 straight games before winning again. 

Up next is back-to-back games with Brooklyn before taking on the Celtics in Boston. 

If that slump isn’t broken tonight, there’s a very good chance that Detroit will soon own the worst losing streak in NBA history.
