Detroit Pistons at Chicago Bulls Pick
This game is priced as a toss-up and in situations like that value often lies with the underdog. This is because we can reduce the juice in scenarios such at this which is quintessential in a 50/50 play such as this one. The fact remains, the Bulls have seemed to have lost their moxie in the Windy City and it will be hard to find against a team as physical and as scrappy as the Pistons. In rivalry games such as this one, home court is less of a factor compared to the norm. Detroit is coming in off an astounding road win its own right and they will hone that momentum here to take full advantage of a Chicago team set up for a let-down after an emotional and hard fought win.
