Below, we look at the Bulls at Pistons odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.
The Bulls made a strong move to add C Nikola Vucevic before the 2021 trade deadline. That didn't help much. Now, they've retained the big man and added G DeMar DeRozan and G Lonzo Ball to go along with superstar G Zach LaVine.
This team is now laced with players that are both underrated and ultra-talented. They could realistically be a top-five team in the East.
They'll open up against a team many thins will be a bottom team in the East. The Pistons added F Jerami Grant, their star, last offseason, and this offseason, they drafted G Cade Cunningham with the first overall pick. Cunningham will not play in the team's home opener.
Excitement is brewing in the Motor City, but it's still to be determined how much time is needed till this team can compete for a spot in the playoffs.
