Detroit Pistons Betting Preview

The Detroit Pistons have been on a nice run as they've won five of their last seven games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after making light work of the Bulls in a 132-92 road win last night. Malik Beasley led the team in scoring with 24 points off the bench, Cade Cunningham added 20 points with seven assists while Tobias Harris chipped in with 18 points. As a team, the Pistons shot 53 percent from the field and 18 of 41 from the 3-point line as they dominated from the tipoff and always looked in control after dominating the first half by an incredible 71-29. The Pistons will meet the Spurs after this game.

Chicago Bulls Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been in poor form as they've lost seven of their last 10 games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a three-game skid after getting run over by the Pistons in a 132-92 home defeat last night. Matas Buzelis led the team in scoring with just 12 points, Josh Giddey added 11 points while no other player scored more than eight points. As a team, the Bulls shot just 35 percent from the field and 10 of 47 from the 3-point line as they got off to a terrible start and scored just 29 points in a nightmare first-half performance which meant the rest of the game was played by the bench players. Nikola Vucevic shot just four of 15 for his eight points while Coby White shot just two of 13 from the field and zero of eight from the 3-point line. The Bulls will face the Knicks following this one.

Detroit Pistons vs Chicago Bulls Prediction

The Pistons are still playing without Jaden Ivey while the Bulls are still missing Lonzo Ball who is dealing with an illness. It's always tough to beat the same team twice in a row in their own building, but the Pistons are clear favorites after completely dominating the Bulls last night. I am sure the Bulls will come out swinging after getting embarrassed, but they are just low on firepower with Ball still sidelined with an illness. Expect a closer contest, but the same result as the Pistons win comfortably on the road.
