Pistons at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 119, Pistons 114

Moneyline

PASS.

There's not much reason to think the Pistons can pull off the upset as they have lost 6 in a row, including 5 straight on the road. Avoid their moneyline odds. Similarly, the Bulls are too expensive to play outright.

Against the spread

BET PISTONS +12 (-114).

The Pistons have covered at a high rate lately, especially on the road. They have played 7 of their last 8 games on the road, going 4-3 ATS.

The Bulls have struggled to cover at home as of late, losing 3 of their last 4 outright and failing to cover in 3 as well. Chicago will be down a few key scorers and may struggle to pull away. It has not been a double-digit favorite this season, so this is a large spread and one the Bulls may have difficulty covering.

That said, take PISTONS +12 (-114).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 227 (-110).

The Bulls have been hitting the Over at a high rate as of late. They have gone Over in 7 of their last 9 games, and it has been on the back of a sloppy defense, allowing at least 120 points in 4 of their last 8 games. Chicago is 30-26-1 O/U on the season.

The Pistons are 31-24-1 O/U on the season, and they have allowed at least 112 points in 8 straight games and at least 116 in 5 of those. Little defense may be played in Chicago Tuesday evening, so back OVER 227 (-110).
