Surging Jazz shoot for another win over Pistons

Basketball Betting Lines

03/10/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Keeping up with Denver in both the Northwest Division and Western Conference standings could get a bit easier tonight for the Utah Jazz, who will shoot for their 10th straight win over the Detroit Pistons.

Utah has won 11 of the its last 12 meetings with Detroit and is unbeaten in its past four trips to The Palace of Auburn Hills. The Jazz needed overtime to top the Pistons back on November 21 of this season, though, as Carlos Boozer and Andrei Kirilenko totaled 22 points apiece in the 100-97 triumph and combined to score all 10 points in the extra session.

The Jazz have won three in a row overall and opened a four-game road trip with Tuesday's 132-108 drubbing of the Chicago Bulls at the United Center behind 28 points and a game-best 17 assists from Deron Williams. C.J. Miles scored 26 points off the bench and Boozer notched a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds for Utah, which sits a game behind the Nuggets in both the division and conference standings. Denver is currently third in the West, just a game back of Dallas.

"I like to see guys compete out there," Utah coach Jerry Sloan said. "[Tuesday] those guys competed hard the whole game."

Sloan's bunch will also visit Milwaukee and Oklahoma City and are 16-14 away from Salt Lake City.

Detroit put the brakes on a six-game losing streak with a 110-107 overtime victory versus Houston on Sunday in the opener of a three-game homestand. Tayshaun Prince registered a season-high 29 points and 10 rebounds, while Richard Hamilton totaled 22 points with eight assists.

"The last three minutes we buckled down and got some fast break opportunities," said Prince, who is averaging 20.2 points and 5.8 rebounds in his last five games. "Pretty much did a good job rebounding the basketball late, going to overtime. Our defense stayed intact."

Hamilton is averaging 23.3 points in his last four home games.

The Pistons will close out the residency on Friday versus Washington and are 15-17 at home in 2009-10.
