The Utah Jazz and the Detroit Pistons duke it out at Little Caesars Arena on Tuesday night.
The Utah Jazz have been in a rut as they’ve lost four of their past six games and they will be hoping to stop a two-game skid after getting trounced by the Cavaliers in a 122-99 road loss last night. Lauri Markkanen led the team with 24 points on seven of 12 shooting, Jordan Clarkson added 23 points while Walker Kessler chipped in with 11 points, but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Jazz shot just 39 percent from the field and 10 of 34 from the 3-point line as they got off to a sluggish start and were always fighting an uphill battle after getting outscored by 62-44 in the first half. Malik Beasley had a night to forget as he finished with just three points on one of 10 shooting off the bench.
Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons have been in a slump as they’ve lost five of their last six games and they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting stopped by the Nets in a 124-121 loss on Sunday. Bojan Bogdanovic led the team with 26 points, Jaden Ivey added 19 points on seven of 11 shooting while Marvin Bagley and Alec Burks each scored 12 points. As a team, the Pistons shot 47 percent from the field and eight of 30 from the 3-point line as they exploded for 71 points in the first half to lead by as many as 19 points, but they let all their hard work go down the drain in the third quarter where they allowed 44 points.
