Prop Bets: Detroit Pistons VS Chicago Bulls 2025-10-22
Detroit Pistons vs. Chicago Bulls: A Humorous Prediction for the NBA Season Opener
The Detroit Pistons, fresh off a playoff push last season, are primed to kick off the 2025-26 NBA season with a resounding victory over the Chicago Bulls. Why? Let’s break it down with stats, sarcasm, and a sprinkle of prop bets.
Why the Pistons Will Win
- Cade Cunningham, the Human Highlight Reel: The Pistons’ star is averaging 26.1 PPG and 9.1 APG last season. With props offering Over 26.5 points (-111) and Over 9.5 assists (-101), bettors can expect Cunningham to flex his All-Star credentials. If he hits both, he’ll probably do it while moonwalking to the hoop.
- Bulls’ Absentee Problem: Chicago is missing Coby White and Zach Collins, which is like bringing a soup ladle to a gunfight. Their roster looks like a "Where’s Waldo?" puzzle for key contributors.
- Pistons’ Revenge Tour: Detroit covered the spread in their last three meetings with Chicago. The Bulls better bring a white flag… or a therapist.
Key Props to Bet
- Cade Cunningham Over 26.5 Points (-111): He’s averaging 26.1 PPG—this is a coin flip, but with better odds.
- Cunningham Over 9.5 Assists (-101): His 9.1 APG last season makes this a no-brainer.
- Nikola Vucevic Under 18.5 Points (-115): The Bulls’ big man shot just 33% from three last year. Fade him.
- Josh Giddey Over 7.5 Assists (-132): Chicago’s point guard will likely out-distribute snacks at a concession stand.
The Spread & Moneyline
- Pistons -2.5 (-110): Take the points. Chicago’s roster is so thin, they’ll probably start the 7th-string bench.
- Pistons -140 on the Moneyline: A -140 favorite? This is more of a “we’re not even trying to hide our dominance” line.
Same-Game Parlay Alert
Combine Cunningham Over 26.5 points and Over 9.5 assists with the Pistons -2.5 for a juicy 1.8x multiplier. It’s basically a free pizza coupon with a side of confidence.
Final Score Prediction
Detroit Pistons 118, Chicago Bulls 105
How it happens: Cunningham drops 27 and 10, Jalen Duren cleans up on the glass, and the Bulls’ bench gets lost on the way to the locker room.
Final Thought: If the Bulls win, the NBA should just retire their franchise. But hey, at least Matas Buzelis’ Over 16.5 points (-128) will make someone happy.
Implied probabilities: Pistons -140 = 58.3% win chance. Bulls +120 = 45.5% implied. Take the Pistons—unless you enjoy crying in a dark room.
