Detroit Pistons vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
Both the Bulls and Pistons are on the end of a back-to-back, and the home team usually has the edge in these sorts of spots. The Bulls keep getting torched defensively, and they’ve allowed 140-plus points in back-to-back games. The Pistons have quietly won 6 of their last 9 games and if they’re going to be serious about competing for a playoff spot, these are the games they keep taking advantage of. You can make a strong argument the Pistons should be bigger favorites. I’ll lay the reasonable chalk with the Pistons at home.
