The Chicago Bulls likely aren’t playing anybody with their 10th spot locked up, but the Pistons have been horrible all year, and that includes losing their last 5 games by an average of 10.6 points. Even with starters sitting, give me the Bulls and the chalk. The Pistons have been getting smoked all year.
