Payton Shanks | Staff Writer

The Detroit Pistons (2-8) and Chicago Bulls (3-6) meet Sunday in a Central Division matchup. Tip-off from United Center is set for 7 p.m. ET. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Pistons vs. Bulls odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Detroit leads 1-0

Detroit's losing streak was increased to 7 with a 114-106 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers Friday, but the Pistons covered as 8.5-point underdogs. Detroit has only allowed less than 120 points in 2 of its games during its current skid, and has only scored more than 115 points twice in the same span.

Chicago lost in a 116-115 OT battle vs. the Phoenix Suns Wednesday as a 1-point underdog. The Bulls saw 3 starters eclipse the 20-point mark and bench G Alex Caruso added 19 points as well, but that wasn't enough to overcome being out-rebounded 54-39.

Pistons at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 110, Pistons 100

Moneyline

PASS.

Chicago should come away with the win here, but a -300 favorite is never worth the risk of betting on. Bet on the spread and/or O/U instead.

Against the spread

LEAN BULLS -7.5 (-110).

Chicago should be able to blow out this injury-riddled Pistons squad, especially if Caruso plays and is able to slow down Pistons G Cade Cunningham. Chicago is also 7-3 ATS vs. the Pistons in the last 10 matchups and has covered in 2 of its 3 wins this season.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 218.5 (-110).

The Under has hit in 7 of the last 10 Detroit-Chicago matchups and will hit again here as Detroit will struggle to find much offense with so many players injured. Both the Pistons and Bulls average less than 110 points per game and neither are terrible defensively, meaning the Under number of 219.5 will be a very safe bet.
