Bulls vs. Pistons Pick
Bulls vs. Pistons Spread Pick
- Pistons -4.5 (4 units)
These are two teams trending in opposite directions at this point of the season, as the Bulls have dropped four of their previous five games, while the Bulls have won seven straight meetings. Chicago is dealing with a couple of injuries to monitor in Giddey and White. Detroit has a litany of injuries itself, but they come in with seven straight victories and seek to avenge the loss to Chicago in their season opener. The Pistons have momentum on their side, and they are at home here as well. Chicago doesn’t have an answer for Cunningham, and that carries the Pistons to a victory here.
Bulls vs. Pistons Over/Under Pick
- Under 235.5 (4 units)
Chicago has seen the over post a 6-4 mark in their 10 games on the year. The Bulls enter this one 13th in the league in scoring offense, 15th in offensive efficiency, and 9th in tempo with an average of 101.9 possessions a night. Detroit stands 16th in offensive efficiency, 17th in scoring offense and 15th in tempo with 100.7 possessions per game. The Pistons have stayed under the number in six of their 11 games this season, entering this one. We saw only 226 points in the first meeting between the teams this season, and with injuries running rampant, look for this game to wind up short of the total as well.
