Milwaukee is coming off a 129-106 road loss to Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets Saturday, 129-106. It’s just the Bucks’ first loss in five games and only their fourth since the start of March. All things considered, Milwaukee is in fine shape – a really good shape. Remember, the Bucks have not lost back-to-back games since January. Whenever they lose, expect the Bucks to bounce back big time the following contest. That doesn’t sound good for the Pistons, especially since they lost in three meetings so far with Milwaukee this season. The last time these teams shared the floor, the Bucks came away with a 150-130 win in Detroit back in January.
The Bucks are 3-1 against the spread in their last four games versus Detroit.
Detroit is merely waiting out the end of the season. The Pistons have long been out of playoff contention and have also lost all of their last five games. In their most recent outing, the Pistons got rocked by the Toronto Raptors on the road last Friday, 118-97. All that being said, sometimes, the trickiest team to deal with is one that has nothing else to lose, so that’s worth remembering for those who are looking for a reason to back Detroit in this upcoming game versus Milwaukee. Marvin Bagley III has averaged 19.7 points on 57.5 FG% over the last three Detroit outings.
The Pistons have seen the total hit in all of their last three games as the home team. Detroit is also 5-5 against the spread in its last five home games.
