NBA Betting Pistons at Bulls
By Eric Williams
Before this series began, I genuinely thought the Chicago Bulls (40-41-1 ATS) had a legitimate chance of either beating the Detroit Pistons (43-37-2 ATS) or taking this series seven games.
After the first two routs by the Pistons at home, I thought the Bulls would possibly extend this series five or six games before bowing out semi-gracefully.
After the Pistons’ game-three second half beat-down on the Bulls, I was left wondering whether or not the Bulls have their bags packed already.
Here are the recent trends for both teams, followed by my free NBA pick:
Key Pistons Trends
The Pistons are 5-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600.
The Pistons are 5-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a road underdog.
The Pistons are 5-0 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog.
Key Bulls Trends
The Bulls are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 5 home games.
The Bulls are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite.
The Bulls are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite.
Key Totals Trends
The Under is 4-0 in Pistons last 4 playoff games as an underdog of 0.5-4.5.
The Over is 10-1 in Pistons last 11 games following a ATS win.
The Over is 4-0 in Bulls last 4 games playing on 2 days rest.
The Over is 4-0 in Bulls last 4 playoff games as a favorite of 0.5-4.5.
Head-to-Head Trends
The Pistons are 12-2 ATS in the last 14 meetings in Chicago.
The Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Chicago.
The Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.
I’ll keep this short and sweet. I will be amazed if the Pistons don’t close this series out tonight.
Detroit has beaten Chicago in every way imaginable and should continue their mastery with a win tonight.
Break out your brooms bettors because the Pistons are going to sweep the Bulls tonight – and cover the spread in the process.
