Chicago at Detroit

Detroit holds teams to 43.9 first-half points here at the Palace and Chicago is not a high-scoring team on the road. The Bulls are off a 23-point loss at Boston and they seem to have hangovers following those types of games as they are 15-6 UNDER in the first half following a double-digit loss this season. Detroit is 24-10 UNDER this season in the first half at home when the total is between 98 and 100. Chicago surprised Detroit in their last matchup, beating the Pistons by 16 points. You can bet the Pistons will clamp down here as a result. Detroit has gone UNDER in the first half to the tune of 49-30 the past three seasons when revenging a loss. That includes a 21-9 UNDER mark if the loss was by double-digits.
