Bulls at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 103, Pistons 99

Moneyline

LEAN BULLS (-120).

Detroit does pose a solid threat to the Bulls in this matchup, but it would be tough for me to advise betting on the Pistons here unless LaVine is ruled out. Chicago has beaten Detroit in all of the last 10 meetings and has covered the spread in 8 of those meetings.

Against the spread

LEAN BULLS -1.5 (-110).

The Pistons are a risky bet here unless you are fully confident that they will either win, or that this will finish as a 1-point game. If this game comes down to a buzzer-beater type scenario, that actually would likely favor the Bulls as they have more proven clutch time performers than Detroit. Chicago is the safest play here, but the moneyline and O/U are safer lines to bet.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 215.5 (-110).

The total has dropped 3 points with LaVine’s health in question Saturday morning. Both of Detroit’s 2 games so start the season have hit the Under, and Chicago’s last matchup vs. Toronto also hit the Under. Both of these teams struggle to find a consistent way to score the ball, and both struggle shooting the 3 ball. Also, 8 of the last 10 meetings between these squads have hit the Under.

Bulls vs. Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 121, Pistons 112

Moneyline

PASS.

The Bulls at (-260) are unplayable yet are the clearly better team, also making the Pistons at (+220) not a great value. Ultimately, pass the moneyline value.

Against the spread

BET BULLS -6.5 (-112).

The Bulls are playing far better than the Pistons, and on a neutral court, backing Chicago makes more sense. The Bulls, who have covered 5 of its last 7 games, can abuse the Pistons’ weakness highlighted earlier.

Detroit is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 and failed to cover at home against New York and New Orleans, closing as an 8.5-point and 5.5-point underdog. Detroit is 11-12-2 ATS on the road while Chicago is 11-10-1 ATS on the road.

Take the BULLS -6.5 (-110) given the strength-on-weakness factor and recent trends.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 235.5 (-105).

The Bulls have gone Under in 2 of their last 4, and the Pistons have gone Under in their last 2. Detroit has failed to score more than 111 points in 3 of its last 5 games. Its offense isn’t there, ranking 25th in the NBA in field goal percentage (45.4%).

Despite the Bulls’ offensive efficiency, they rank 14th in pace. Detroit sits 12th in pace. Neither team plays at an ultra-fast tempo.

With that in mind, back the UNDER 235.5 (-105).

Chicago Bulls at Detroit Pistons odds, pick and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Chicago Bulls at Detroit Pistons odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

To help kick off the season for most of the NBA, the Chicago Bulls (0-0) travel to take on the Detroit Pistons (0-0). The game is set to tip at 7 p.m. ET and will be held at Little Caesars Arena. Below, we look at the Bulls at Pistons odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Bulls made a strong move to add C Nikola Vucevic before the 2021 trade deadline. That didn’t help much. Now, they’ve retained the big man and added G DeMar DeRozan and G Lonzo Ball to go along with superstar G Zach LaVine.

This team is now laced with players that are both underrated and ultra-talented. They could realistically be a top-five team in the East.

They’ll open up against a team many thins will be a bottom team in the East. The Pistons added F Jerami Grant, their star, last offseason, and this offseason, they drafted G Cade Cunningham with the first overall pick. Cunningham will not play in the team’s home opener.

Excitement is brewing in the Motor City, but it’s still to be determined how much time is needed till this team can compete for a spot in the playoffs.

Bulls at Pistons odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 114, Pistons 107

Money line

PASS on the money line.

While I think the Bulls will win, they aren’t that far superior. Along with being on the road, betting the -210 for a team that’s not the Bucks or Jazz, especially not at home, feels like a mistake.

There are far better value bets in this game. The Pistons aren’t a top-tier franchise, but they’re also not one to sleep on.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the BULLS -5.5 (-105) as the better bet. I don’t love it as the value is a tad bit high, but the Bulls have a roster that has been composed to compete with some of the best in the East.

LaVine has the best season of his career last year. Add in a pass-first Ball and a team-first DeRozan, and the Bulls have a team that should be able to dominant a lower-level opponent.

The Pistons have talent, especially down past Grant and Cunningham.

But, the jury is still out if G Killian Hayes can take that next step. Against a potent Bulls roster, I expect Chicago to come out on top, but it shouldn’t be by more than double figures.

Over/Under

BET on the OVER 219.5 (-107) as the best bet in this game. Having stayed away from Overs to kick off the season, this one gives good value. The Bulls are loaded with score-first players.

Especially with Ball’s increased ability to shoot, the Bulls can get out and get going. The Pistons will be able to hang with them behind Grant and Hayes.

F Saddiq Bey and G Hamidou Diallo could both get hot and help add to the scoring. With a deep Bulls roster and an underrated Pistons, seeing Over 219 hit wouldn’t be shocking.

Prediction

Bulls 111, Pistons 105

The Bulls (-375) will cost you nearly four times your potential return, and that’s too expensive on the road, even against a poor Pistons (+290) side.

AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)

The PISTONS +8.5 (-110) were dusted by the 76ers on Saturday, and they have a quick turnaround.

However, they’re 10-1 ATS across the past 11 games as an underdog of 8.5 or more points. Roll with Detroit, as they should be able to keep it within single digits.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 219.5 (-110) is the play here. The Under has connected in six in a row for the Bulls while going 9-4 in their past 13 as a favorite.

The Under is 5-2-1 in the past eight home games for the Pistons, while cashing in six of the past eight as a ‘dog. The Under is also 5-2 in the past seven when working on no rest.
