Even Kyle Kuzma was <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/kylekuzma\/status\/1740557176345956625\">clowning them<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But now, the Pistons look like a surefire playoff team. And they have nine wins in just their past 12 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In that 12-game span, Detroit has the third-best net rating in the NBA (+11.0) with a 9-3 ATS record.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Over the same timeframe, Utah is 4-8 with the 25th-ranked net rating (-6.2).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Detroit is 7-2 ATS as a road favourite this year and has covered a -7.5 spread in eight of its past 10 games overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m happy backing the team that&#8217;s flying high and has a rest advantage (the Jazz played at home last night).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Cunningham 25+ points<\/strong> (-152):<\/strong> The primary culprit for the Jazz&#8217;s wheels falling off is their utter absenteeism on defence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over its past 15 games, Utah has allowed the second-most points (122.3\/game) and the second-most 3s (15.9\/game) while forcing the second-fewest turnovers (11.1\/game).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cunningham&#8217;s main weakness on offence is that he&#8217;s turnover-prone. But that shouldn&#8217;t matter as much against the Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Detroit&#8217;s all-star point guard has averaged 27.2 PPG over his past 18 and cashed this bet 11 times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He has 25+ points in all five career matchups vs. Utah, including a 33-point performance back in December.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Utah allows the third most PPG to opposing point guards (25.52), per Betting Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>Kessler 12+ rebounds<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> (-182):<\/strong> This is too much juice to bet as a straight wager, but it vaults our SGP from +160 to +380. Based on how active Kessler is on the glass, that seems like value to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 7-footer is averaging 12.2 rebounds this season, which ranks fifth among all NBA players. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And he&#8217;s been doing his best work since the third week of January:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>14.1 RPG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>12+ rebounds in 11 of 14 games<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>13+ rebounds in 4 straight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Detroit has the league&#8217;s fourth-highest rebounding rate (51.7%), but that didn&#8217;t stop Kessler from hauling in 12 rebounds during their matchup on Dec. 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 9:20 a.m. ET 03\/03\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The red-hot Detroit Pistons embark on a Western Conference road trip on Monday night with a matchup against the Utah Jazz.
