Utah Jazz
Youth Utah this season plays with mixed success, if you take the summer league, here the team has two wins in four confrontations. In the last match they lost to the Clippers with a score of 88:105.
Before that, the team still had three matches in Salt Lake City, where they beat Memphis and Philadelphia, and also lost to Oklahoma. The club struggled for a while last season to finish in the top ten in their conference, but couldn’t keep up with the competition, eventually finishing 12th and a full 15 wins behind the play-in zone. The Jazz are capable of fighting for the playoffs, let’s see how it goes in the upcoming season.
Detroit Pistons
Many are used to Detroit being among the outsiders in the NBA, this was the case last season, when with 14 wins in 82 games it became the worst not only in the conference, but in the league itself.
Pistons in the summer league have two wins in four meetings, which can be considered a good result. In the last game, Detroit almost made a comeback against the New York Knicks, losing the game by 20 points and eventually losing 90-91. The main star of the club Cade Cunningham continued his contract with the Pistons for 5 years, during this time he will earn 224 million dollars.
Interesting facts about the match and history of personal meetings
- Last season, both face-to-face meetings were won by Utah.

Utah Jazz vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
I expect an unpredictable meeting, which can end with any outcome. Both teams can not boast of stability, although they are surely loaded to win. Summer League matches are rarely very successful, so I’m betting on a total of less than 175 points.
