Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on February 12. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Chicago Bulls

The Bulls regularly lose, but with the same frequency their main competitor to date - Philadelphia. As a result, Chicago has long held the tenth place in the Eastern Conference standings, with a purely negative balance of wins - 22-31.

Specifically on the eve of the matchup with Detroit, the team met with tough Western Conference opponents and lost twice in a row. First on the road, the Bulls failed to cope with Minnesota (108:127), and then lost at home to Golden State (111:132) in a very effective match.

Detroit Pistons

The Pistons had a long home stretch before traveling to Chicago and finished it with a 4-2 balance. First Detroit beat Dallas (117:102) and the same Bulls (127:119), then lost to Atlanta (130:132) and Cleveland (115:118), but after that they got two solid wins - over Charlotte (112:102) and Philadelphia (125:112).

Overall, the season for Detroit can be considered a breakthrough. The team now has a positive balance of wins (26-25), something that hasn't happened to the club from Michigan in a very long time. Also, the Pistons have a real chance to make the playoffs. At least for now, Detroit is in the top-6 of the Eastern Conference.
