DeMar DeRozan is averaging 28 points and 5.1 assists, while Zach LaVine is averaging 24.6 points and 4.9 rebounds.

The Bulls are 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 road games and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Pistons are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games and 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The under is 5-1 in Bulls last 6 overall. The under is 2-0-2 in Pistons last 4 home games. The Bulls are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Detroit and 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.

The Chicago Bulls are the better team, and it’s only a matter of time before they get back on track, but we can’t ignore they’ve lost five straight and are losing those games by an average of 9.2 points. Also, the Detroit Pistons have quietly played good ball over the last two weeks and are a young team gaining some confidence. I need to see the bulls get back on track before laying this much chalk on the road. Give me the home dog.
