What to Know
The Chicago Bulls are getting right back to it as they host the Detroit Pistons at 8 p.m. ET Oct. 23 at United Center. The Bulls should still be riding high after a win, while Detroit will be looking to right the ship.
Chicago strolled past the New Orleans Pelicans with points to spare on Friday, taking the contest 128-112. Point guard Lonzo Ball and shooting guard Zach LaVine were among the main playmakers for Chicago as the former dropped a triple-double on 17 points, ten assists, and ten boards and the latter shot 6-for-9 from beyond the arc and finished with 32 points, five dimes and six rebounds. That’s Ball’s first triple-double of the season.

The Bulls are the favorite in this one, with an expected 8-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (2-0), so they might be worth a quick bet.
