The current NBA odds has the road team Chicago Bulls favored by -1 ½ points with an over under line of 184 points. When the odds opened up a few hours ago the Bulls were -2 point favorites and the total came in at 192 points. We have seen a ½ point move on Detroit and a two point move on over the total.
The teams met four times last year in the lockout season with Chicago winning all four games and covering three of the games. Trend: Detroit Pistons are 4-1 to the under in their past five games.
The Bulls are 4-3 on the road this season. They have won three of four games. They beat Cleveland on Wednesday 95-85 as a -3 ½ point betting favorite at home. They were slow out of the gates as they trained 27-11 after one period. Without Derrick Rose in the lineup the Bulls offense has suffered as their point total and shooting percentage has tailed downward. They are still a very good defensive team as they are number one in scoring defense allowing 91 points a game and only 42.6% shooting. Luol Deng leads the club with 18 points a game.
The Pistons have lost three of their past four games. Their only win during this stretch was against a bad Cleveland team at home. They drop a 104-97 home decision to Golden St on Wednesday as a-1 point favorite. Detroit has struggled for scoring during this four game stretch with a point per game average of 85. At 93 points per game average this season the Pistons are 25th in the league. Greg Monroe leads the team with 15 points a game.
