The Detroit Pistons will be away to the Chicago Bulls looking to halt their current six-game skid in the NBA. They arrive for this match sitting rock bottom in the Eastern Conference, almost 20 games back on the ninth-placed Bulls. The Bulls got back to winning ways last time out to end a two-game skid. Billy Donovan’s men were 114-106 winners over the Pelican in New Orleans. It was their 27th win of the season and it took them to within three games of .500. With the Pistons spiraling, Chicago will be confident of a win here. The Bulls have won 16 of the last 17 meetings with the Pistons. They won the most recent matchup back in November to tie the season series at 1-1. Zach Lavine and Torrey Craig are two of four players that have been ruled out for this game. The Bulls are averaging 111.8 points a game which is the 25th best record.

The Pistons are scoring the ball a bit better than the Bulls and are averaging 112.8 points. Their average is even better when on the road as they are scoring 113.8 points when away from home. They will hope to have a sublime scoring night as they seek to put to a halt a six-game losing run. Monty Williams’ men are setting up to play on the second night of a back-to-back. They were narrowly defeated 113-111 by the Knicks in New York and will feel hard done by the officiating late on. The Pistons, who possess the worst record in the league, have now lost 49 times in 57 outings. One of their eight wins came against the Bulls in the first matchup of the season back in October. They won 118-102 to end a 15-game losing streak in this fixture. Marcus Sasser has been ruled out for this trip with a knee issue.
