Prediction
Bulls 106, Pistons 103
Moneyline (ML)
The -115 line for the BULLS is not a hard one to take even without the presence of Porter inside.
This may be one of Chicago’s best chances to its losing streak. Detroit is 3-7 in its last 10 games and losers of four straight contests.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Bulls to win outright returns a profit of $8.70.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The value play for this game is taking the BULLS with the -1.5 points at -106 odds. A Chicago cover (win by two or more points) returns a greater profit of $9.43.
Chicago is only 3-4 against the spread at home but Detroit is worse on the road. Detroit is 1-5-1 away from home ATS.
Over/Under (O/U)
Lean slightly to the UNDER 220.5 (-115). Chicago plays a little more stout on defense and slows down a bit at home. It may be just enough to keep Detroit from scoring 110 points and makes the Under an easier proposition.
