Where to Watch: NBA League Pass
The Detroit Pistons (27-26) are set to face the Chicago Bulls (22-31) on February 11, 2025, at the United Center in Chicago. The Pistons are looking to halt a three-game road losing streak, while the Bulls aim to rebound from recent defeats themselves.
In their recent performance, the Pistons secured a 112-102 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. Cade Cunningham recorded a triple-double with 19 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists, while Tobias Harris added 20 points. Jalen Duren contributed a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds.
The Bulls, on the other hand, suffered a 132-111 loss to the Golden State Warriors. Coby White led Chicago with 27 points, and Matas Buzelis added 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists. However, the team's defense has been a concern, allowing over 121 points in each of their last five games.
Coby White Over 20.5 Points
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White has played 46 games in the 2024-25 NBA season, averaging 18.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game. He is shooting 43.8% from the field, making 6.3 field goals per game on 14.3 attempts. From beyond the arc, White has been impressive, averaging 3.1 three-pointers per game on 8.2 attempts, with a three-point shooting percentage of 38.2%. At the free-throw line, he has a solid percentage of 89.8%, converting 3.1 free throws per game on 3.4 attempts.
Since returning back from injury White has cleared this line in five of his six starts. He's coming off a massive game where he dropped 27 points against the Golden State Warriors. With the Chicago Bulls trading Zach Lavine Coby White has had to step up and be this team's leading scorer. I will continue to ride the over on his points until oddsmakers adjust his line.
Jalen Duren Over 10.5 Rebounds
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren has been a key contributor to his team’s rebounding efforts during this season. Averaging 10.1 rebounds per game, Duren has collected a total of 505 rebounds across 50 games. His rebounding stats are well-rounded, with 350 defensive rebounds and 155 offensive rebounds. Duren's ability to dominate both ends of the floor in terms of rebounding has made him a vital piece in the Pistons' overall performance this season.
Duren is coming off two great games rebounding the ball. He's secured 13 rebounds against the Sixers and 12 rebounds against the Hornets. He has another favorable matchup going against the Chicago Bulls who are giving up 54.9 rebounds per game to opposing teams which is the third most in the league. The Bulls play at a fast pace and take a lot of shots which will open up a lot of opportunities for Duren to snag boards.
Cade Cunningham Over 9.5 Assists
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham has been an exceptional playmaker this season. Averaging 9.5 assists per game, he has accumulated a total of 456 assists across 48 games, ranking him third in the league for assists per game. Cunningham’s ability to facilitate scoring opportunities has been crucial to the Pistons' offense, showcasing his vision and court awareness. His impressive playmaking ability has solidified his role as a key contributor to the team’s overall success.
We've seen Cunningham go over his assist line in six of his last nine games. He has been doing it all for the Pistons and he's becoming one of the league's best all-around players right in front of our eyes. He has a favorable matchup going against the Bulls who allow 29.2 assists per game to opposing teams which is the second most in the league. I expect another double-digit assist night for Cade Cunningham.
