Why was the moneyline for this game only -300 for Utah? I'm curious because Detroit is absolutely atrocious on the road (3-15) and Utah is a very good home team
shouldn't it have been around - 600?

You expect a 19-21 NBA team to be -600?
Wow.

3-15 road team vs 14-6 home team should definitely be around -600
Does Vegas pay more attention to overall record than road/home splits expecting that home/road splits even out over course of season?

I know what the word correlated means but what does that mean in this context?
Are you saying they couldn't make this a -500 or -600 because they couldn't give Utah an 8 or 9 point spread?

Not that they couldn't give them that spread, it's just not what the spread for the game was.
