Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – .
The Bulls have not won by more than eight points in four of their last five games. The Bulls have been struggling of late, so we expect the Pistons to take on the favourite. With such an opponent, Casey’s charges will have a chance to get the result they want.
The meeting between the teams is likely to be quite productive. The Pistons are too weak defensively. They are conceding an average of 120 points this season. At the same time, Casey’s men have a decent offensive game. It’s likely that the rivals will put on a real show in Paris.
The Detroit Pistons can’t win for the second game in a row. After a setback to the New Orleans Pelicans (110-116), the Pistons fell to the New York Knicks (104-117). In this meeting, we note Jaden Ivey’s productive play for the Pistons. He scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. However, his effort wasn’t enough to achieve a positive result.
The date of Detroit’s last win was January 12. The team outscored the Minnesota Timberwolves (135-118) at home.
The Detroit Pistons dropped to last place in the Eastern Conference. The club played 47 games in the regular season: 12 wins and 35 losses.
The Detroit Pistons have a terrible defence, as the players allow their opponents an average of 119.5 points per game.
DeMar DeRozan could return to action. He suffered a thigh injury on January 10
Since then, Derozan has missed three games. They lost to the Washington Wizards (97-100) and Oklahoma City Thunder (110-124). They also won the game against the Golden State Warriors (132-118).
With the victory, the Bulls snapped a three-game losing streak. Nikola Vucevic had the best efficiency in that game. He notched a double-double of 43 points and 13 rebounds.
The Bulls are ranked 10th in the Eastern Conference. The team from Illinois has 10 wins and 24 losses.
The Chicago Bulls have won 12 head-to-head games in a row.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Detroit Pistons: Killian Hayes – Jaden Ivey – Saddiq Bey – Isaiah Livers – Isaiah Livers.
Chicago Bulls: Zach LaVine – Ayo Dosunmu – Alex Caruso – Patrick Williams – Nikola Vucevic.
