Command Analysis

Chicago Bulls

Current form
The Bulls decided to get rid of Zach Lavigne. This player went to Sacramento and now Chicago will build its game around other performers. It is not known how this will affect the actions of the team, but recently it has suffered setbacks. The team from the Windy City lost to Minnesota (108:127) and Golden State (111:132).
Chicago really needs a win, because it is in tenth place in the Eastern Conference standings. The Bulls have 22 wins and are two games ahead of Philadelphia. However, they have played one more match.
Disqualifications and injuries
Will not play: Adama Sanogo, Lonzo Ball.
Interesting facts for betting
Chicago is one of the worst home teams in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls have won only 10 of 27 games at home this season. This is the 12th result in the East.
Approximate line—up: Vucevic - White, Giddy — Dosunmu, Buzelis.

Detroit Pistons

Current form
The Pistons continue to hold their ground. The Michigan team has won 27 matches and ranks sixth in the Eastern Conference standings. Detroit will not lose its position in the near future, so the team's chances of reaching the playoffs are very promising.
In recent games, the Pistons have won. First, they defeated Philadelphia (125:112), and then they dealt with Charlotte (112:102). Tobias Harris was the best in the Detroit lineup in the last match. He scored 20 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.

1.79Tip and bets
Detroit is deservedly considered the favorite, but Chicago is unlikely to leave the site without resistance. Despite the loss of Lavin, the Bulls remain a formidable opponent. They have Nikola Vucevic and Josh Giddy. Due to these players, the bulls are obliged to resist the favorite.
Chicago doesn't look so hopeless at times. Recently, the Bulls defeated Denver and Miami on their court. We believe that the Bulls will perform well.
Our forecast is Chicago with a handicap of (+5.5) points in 1.80

The teams continue to demonstrate a bright game in attack. This is especially true for Chicago, which scored 111 points in the last match. Most likely, the face-to-face meeting will be successful.
Forecast — total more than 234.5 points in 1.62
Betting on statistics
White became one of Chicago's key players. He has not scored less than 22 points in the last four matches. We expect Kobi to demonstrate his leadership skills that time.
Prediction — Kobe White: total more than 21.5 points in 1.78
