Detroit Pistons vs Chicago Bulls Prediction: Betting on the Bulls?

Detroit vs. Chicago is a classic matchup from the nineties. Times are different now, and both teams are not in the best pool. Although the Bulls will surely disagree with that? Let's pick a few bets on the upcoming meeting.

The Pistons continue to rebuild, relying on young players. In addition, this season, the team has a new head coach - Monty Williams, who previously worked with Phoenix and reached the championship final with the club from Arizona.

Detroit's start to the new season has been promising so far. With a difference of only one point, the Pistons lost away to Miami, the last playoff finalist, 102:103, and in a meeting with Charlotte, they won 111:99. It should be noted that Cade Cunningham scored 30 points in the game with Miami. Alec Burks, the most experienced player on Detroit's roster today, scored 24 points in the game with Charlotte.

The Bulls is an ambitious project for today. However, one ambition was not enough for Billy Donovan's team last season to make the playoffs - the Miami Heat stopped the Bulls in the play-in round. Will Chicago be able to surpass that result in the new championship? It's hard to say, given that the team still has problems at point guard. Lonzo Ball, who has been calling for a solution, will miss the entire season due to injury.

The opening games of the championship confirm that Chicago's offense is far from good. First, the Bulls lost to Oklahoma 104:124. Then they beat Toronto in overtime but scored even less than 100 points in the first 48 minutes - 104:103 (93:93).

Chicago has offensive problems due to the lack of a good guard. But Detroit is too young a team and can fail at any moment, so the Bulls' weaknesses are unimportant here. The Pistons had a great meeting with Charlotte and may not show the same high level the next time. Accordingly, we bet on the team from Chicago, but we also expect a TU - after all, Detroit now has a defense-oriented coach, Monty Williams.
