Chicago at Detroit

The Chicago Bulls have had to once again play without the services of their top player and floor general Derrick Rose. They have not made the adjustment, and have really faltered over the second half of the season. Chicago is a misleading 42-28 on the season as all of that work was done early. The Bulls are just 17-18 over their last 35 games. Detroit has been every bit their equal, as the Pistons are 24-44 on the season, but a much improved 19-21 in their last 40 games. The Pistons won by 9 here in the last meeting, and have been bouncing back strong off big losses as they are 7-0 ATS in their last seven when following a loss of 10 points or more. The Bulls are a model of inconsistency, demonstrated by their sub-.500 record over their last 35 games, and are 7-15 ATS following a win in their last 22. Play on Detroit.
