This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the OVER Bulls/Pistons.
Both teams have been involved in lower-scoring games to open the season, but I'm anticipating not much defense played here, and a much more wide-open pace overall than what this O/U line is suggesting.
Chicago fell in its opener by a score of 124-104 at home to OKC, then held a players only meeting the next day. The Bulls won in OT against the Raptors last night by a score of 104-103. The total amazingly failed to sail OVER the posted number despite playing the extra frame.
Now on the road for the first time this year, I think Chicago's defense takes a hit here on the second game of the back-to-back scenario.
Detroit is 1-1 as well after a 111-99 win at Charlotte last night. The Pistons finally return home to play and while their first two games went UNDER the number, I think playing in front of the home town crowd will have the opposite effect as far as the total is concerned here on Saturday.
Note that the Pistons have seen the total go OVER the number in eight of their last 12 off a SU/ATS road win as a dog in which they held their opponent to 99 or fewer points in.
With each team pushing the pace like I anticipate, all signs point to this total flying OVER the number sooner, rather than later.
Good luck, NP
