Why Bet on the Bulls

The Chicago Bulls are coming off just two monstrous wins in a row. Despite all the drama behind Fred Hoiberg, the head coach and his players, they are right in the mix of things. The Bulls can look back at their back to back losses to the Knicks, followed by a loss in Orlando for why they are fighting for their life. The Bulls are still one of the best rebounding teams in all of the league, with just more than 46 per game. Jimmy Butler leads Chicago in scoring with 21 points per game, and the team is scoring just over 101. The Bulls have held the Pacers and Rockets under 100 points; both wins.

Why Bet on the Pistons

For the Detroit Pistons, their win over Oklahoma City was huge at home, but keep in mind, the Thunder did not dress Kevin Durant. The Pistons have struggled this season on the road; winning just 15 out of 37 games. Detroit has won six out of their last seven games, with their lone loss during that time on the road in Atlanta. The Pistons are led in scoring by point guard Reggie Jackson, with 18.5 points per game, and 6.2 assists per game. Detroit is third in the league in rebounds, with 46.4 per game.
