Detroit Pistons vs Chicago Bulls Betting Preview
Detroit opened its six-game homestand with authority, dismantling New York in a 121-90 win that reinforced its identity as a defensive-first contender. The Pistons controlled every phase, forcing turnovers, dictating pace, and never letting the Knicks settle. Cade Cunningham orchestrated the offense, while Detroit’s depth carried the load despite multiple starters sitting.
Chicago arrives searching for consistency. The Bulls dropped a 115-101 decision in Boston on Monday and continue to hover below .500. Focus and execution remain issues, especially late in games. The return of Coby White added ball-handling, but rhythm was hard to find against elite defense.

Matchup Breakdown
Detroit’s edge is physicality and depth. The Pistons defend at every position, contest shots without fouling, and turn stops into transition opportunities. Cunningham continues to control tempo, and the bench has provided reliable scoring during injury absences.
Chicago struggles when pressured. Turnovers and stalled half-court sets have limited offensive flow, especially against disciplined defenses. When the Bulls fail to score early, chasing games has been an issue.
