NBA Betting Trends

Chicago

The Bulls are 4-1 against the spread in their last five road games, but 0-5 ATS in their last five division games.

Detroit

The Pistons have covered the spread in six straight home games and in five straight conference games.

Prediction:

The Pistons played some ugly basketball in the first half against Chicago, but got their act together in the second half and dominated. Drummond really dominated the glass and sparked the rally while Griffin made some big shots. With these two teams moving to Detroit, I would expect the second half performance to continue. The Pistons are growing as a team at the right time and seem past their previous days when they played down to their competition.

NBA Prediction: Detroit Pistons -8.5
