The Pistons are in a bit of a funk recently, dropping four of their last five games. They're coming off a 98-96 loss to the lowly Nets on Monday night as a 5.5-point favorite. Tobias Harris led the team with 24 points and five rebounds while Andre Drummond scored just 13 points in the loss, although he did nab 17 rebounds.

The Bulls have also struggled of late, losing eight of their last 10 games. They too lost on Tuesday night, a 122-120 overtime defeat in Toronto as a 7.5-point underdog. Chicago has covered the spread in three straight games, however, and is 4-1 against the number in its last five contests.
