Why the Pistons can cover
Detroit got back to .500 on the season on Friday with a 117-102 win over the Dallas Mavericks. First-time NBA All-Star Cade Cunningham had 40 points in the victory, while Jalen Duren added a double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds.
The triumph ended a three-game losing streak where the Pistons had failed to cover the spread in all three outings. Detroit is now 23-23-2 against the spread this season and Jaden Ivey (leg) is the only player currently listed on its injury report. See which team to back at SportsLine.
Why the Bulls can cover
Meanwhile, Chicago is coming off a 122-106 win over the Toronto Raptors on Friday despite playing without Zach LaVine (personal). LaVine is once again listed as doubtful for Sunday’s contest, but Coby White will be in the lineup coming off a 25-point outburst. Nikola Vucevic will also start after supplying 21 points and 13 rebounds on Friday.
The Bulls have covered the spread in two of their last three games and have won in 10 of their last 11 trips to Detroit. Billy Donovan’s squad had seven of the nine players in its rotation on Friday reach double-figures in scoring and he’ll be hoping for a similarly team-oriented performance on Sunday.
