Chicago at Detroit

The Chicago Bulls had a good run a month or so ago, but the before and after has left this team an ugly 20-44. It has been hard to get backers for this team as wins have been nearly extinct since the good stretch. But one of those rare wins came in their last game, so they have to enter this game with a bit extra bounce in their step. Detroit made what they thought was a move ensuring them of a playoff run when they acquired Blake Griffin prior to the trade deadline. Griffin looked like the piece they needed, as the Pistons won all five of his first games in a Pistons' uniform, but it has been all downhill since. The Pistons have been worse than the Bulls in their last 12 games at 2-10. The line here does not reflect the bad turn the Pistons have taken as Griffin is shooting just 41% and 31% from deep on the season, so a negative price for his 20 points per game. Play on Chicago.
