Bulls vs Pistons Prediction
The Pistons played the Bulls last night and left with a 40-point win. The Pistons led 71-29 at halftime, and the Bulls missed 24 of their first 25 three-point attempts. It was an absolute embarrassment on a level you don’t see in the NBA. Obviously, you’d expect the Bulls to play with a bit more effort this time around, and it’s not easy to beat the same team twice in as many days regardless of the talent gap. Still, it’s hard to see last night and then run to the window to back the Bulls. And as I said yesterday, the Pistons need to take advantage of games like this if they’re going to make the playoffs. The Bulls are 3-7 SU and ATS in their last seven games. I’ll lay the points with the Pistons yet again.
