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.
