The Bulls are just 9-19 on the road, but they are dangerous at home with a 15-13 record. This coincides with the Pistons being in a dangerous situation. Detroit returned from the All-Star break and put together an excellent game in beating the Knicks, 126-111, as a four-point road underdog this past Thursday. Now the Pistons keep on the road to play the Bulls before returning home for marquee matchups against the Spurs, defending champion Thunder, and Cavaliers. The Pistons can't be faulted if they get caught looking ahead to those three challenging home games. Jalen Duran is back for Detroit following a suspension, but center Isaiah Stewart remains under suspension for his part in a brawl against Charlotte on February 9. Chicago came off the All-Star break with a disappointing 110-101 home loss to the Raptors two days ago. The big takeaway from that game, though, was the return of Bulls guards Josh Giddey and Tre Jones. Both had been out with hamstring injuries. Giddey is Chicago's best player and the key to its offense. The Pistons are 8-11 ATS as road favorites, while the Bulls are 18-14 ATS when getting points. The Bulls should improve as recently acquired Collin Sexton and Anfernee Simons get more accustomed to their new teammates. Take the Bulls.

Detroit at Chicago
8:00 PM Eastern
The Detroit Pistons have been an up-and-coming team for the past few seasons, and this may be the year they can make a run in the East. Cade Cunningham gives them a versatile star player, and the supporting cast is now playoff-experienced. The Bulls simply don't have the roster to take them over the top. Chicago has made three straight play-in appearances, and I would not be surprised if they make it four, but that seems to be their ceiling. Jaden Ivy, who averaged 17.6 points per game a year ago, may be watching from the sidelines for Detroit as he deals with a knee injury. You don't see too many very high totals on opening night. In a team's opening night, the UNDER has cashed at a rate of 57% with totals of 230 or more. Make the play on the UNDER.
