Detroit ML +120 @ the Utah Jazz
Blew Phoenix out by 30 in their building (who plays a somewhat similar style to Utah), went into Denver and played a solid game, executed down the stretch and came out with a W.
They are playing better ball after those first two games (post all star break) against Orlando & Milwaukee, Utah isn't in their league. Detroit's frontline has a slight edge, billups and hamilton should have solid games, but what really sways this in Detroit's favor IMHO is their bench- hayes, maxiell, johnson & co can and probably will outplay Utah's weak second team. The pistons can play in a half court set or a run and gun type style if Utah's gameplan is to push the tempo.
