Stan Van Gundy's new defensive schemes appear to be working for Detroit which has won its first two games -- both as an underdog. Andre Drummond scored 18 points and Reggie Jackson had 19 points and 10 rebounds in Wednesday's 92-87 win against Utah. The Pistons are 8-1 ATS their last nine home games dating to last season. Detroit won both home contests while splitting four meetings last year. Chicago is playing its third game in four nights after beating Cleveland and Brooklyn. The Bulls are trying a new up-tempo offense under new coach Fred Hoiberg and early signs are good as they shot 53.8 percent and 14-for-28 from the three-point line against the Nets. Six Bulls scored in double figures in the effort. Chicago is just 1-4 the last five meetings and the underdog is 9-2 the last 11 times these teams have met. Look for Detroit to stay hot while cooling off the Bulls. Take the points on the Pistons.
