Prediction

In the past two seasons, the Bulls’ defense has significantly declined due to Lonzo Ball’s long-term absence. Last season, the team was eliminated in the play-in tournament, delivering a disappointing performance. This season, the Bulls traded away Caruso and DeRozan, acquiring tough players like Giddey. However, there are still concerns about the potential departures of LaVine and Vucevic. The Bulls played against the Rockets on Sunday, and this game will be a back-to-back matchup, which may affect their stamina.

The Pistons have been tanking for the past four seasons, finishing at the bottom of the league last year and suffering through a 28-game losing streak. This season, the Pistons made a coaching change, with young coach Bickerstaff taking over. The team strengthened its roster with players like Harris, and Cade Cunningham has shown significant improvement. On Sunday, the Pistons played against the Wizards, and this game will also be a back-to-back, posing a significant challenge for them.

The Pistons have shown noticeable improvement in their fighting spirit this season, especially on the defensive end. Playing at home will provide an additional boost to their strength. Expect the Pistons to secure a solid victory at home.

Pick: Pistons -4.5 (Point Spread)
