The Detroit Pistons didn’t exactly start 2024 as well as they ended 2023, getting blown out by the Houston Rockets. The Pistons succumbed to the all-too-familiar third-quarter collapse in Houston, surrendering 47 points and getting outscored by 22 in the frame. They will be looking to bounce back against the Utah Jazz as their four-game road trip continues. This isn’t the same Jazz team that beat Detroit by only eight points on Dec. 21. That team was missing 60% of its offense to injury. This team will have its star in Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George to help carry the load alongside Collin Sexton and John Collins.
