Detroit Pistons vs Chicago Bulls: TV Schedule, Live Stream, Spread Info and MoreEzra Shaw/Getty ImagesThe slumping Detroit Pistons (2-6) travel to the Windy City to face off with the Chicago Bulls (7-2). Chicago cruised to victory when the two teams met just five days ago in Detroit thanks to a balanced offensive attack and strong defense. Aside from the emergence of Greg Monroe, it's been a disappointing start to the season for the Pistons. The lack of a true point guard has led to a lot of empty possessions, and when a team doesn't have an elite scorer, that becomes costly over the course of a game. On the flip side, the Bulls have been operating like a well-oiled machine so far.

Since the Pistons don't appear ready to make any noise this season, having their young players gain experience against a legitimate title threat like the Bulls will pay dividends down the road. It's all about building for the future.

Derrick Rose is leading the way once again with 19 points and eight assists.

It's barely above one through eight games, which isn't nearly good enough to be the main ball handler on a good team. Simply put, there's a lot of room for improvement, but the potential is obvious. Bulls Player to Watch: Luol DengEven though Deng has gotten off to a slow start shooting the ball, he's still one of the league's most underrated players. He's really the glue that holds Chicago's entire lineup together because he can make significant contributions in so many different areas of the game. He's not a high-flying dunk master, which is probably why he doesn't get much time on the highlight shows, but he's a dependable option nevertheless.
If the Bulls make a deep playoff run this season, you can bet Deng will be a major reason they did. Key Matchup: Greg Monroe vs. Joakim NoahMonroe has taken a big leap forward in his second season. He's averaging 16 points and nine rebounds while shooting 57 percent from the field. He'll be the centerpiece of Detroit's rebuild for season's to come if he can continue to improve his post presence. Noah is one of those players where the statistics really don't tell the whole story.

The rookie point guard out of Kentucky is averaging 11 points and three assists per game, but has been a volume scorer to this point. Moving forward, the most important thing for Knight will be improving his assist-to-turnover ratio.
