Bulls vs. Pistons Prediction

The Pistons have endured a disastrous season overall, even with solid offensive output from the likes of Bojan Bogdanovic and Jaden Ivey. With little momentum, subpar defense and a noticeable lack of team cohesion, the Detroit outfit are nearly always going to be the underdog this season.

The Bulls, meanwhile, have an impressive line-up, but one that severely lacks chemistry and cohesion. Top players Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan have had clear issues throughout the season that have led to a lack of cohesion on the court. Despite their struggles and the long-term absence of star point guard Lonzo Ball, however, they are a superior team to the Pistons in all areas of the court.

The Chicago outfit will likely build off their Warriors win tonight.

Prediction: Bulls -6.5 (-110)
