Detroit Pistons vs. Milwaukee Bucks Preview

On the season the Pistons are 4-9 ATS and they have an O/U record of 5-8 and the Bucks are 9-5 ATS and they have an Under record of 6-8.

This season the Bucks are 4-2 at home and the Pistons are 1-6 on the road.

In their last games the Pistons lost to the Atlanta Hawks 99-89 and the Bucks lost to the Washington Wizards 111-100.

Both of these teams are not playing well, as the Bucks have lost 2 straight and the Pistons have lost 4 in a row. The Bucks are the 3-point home favorite tonight, which is no surprise since the Pistons only have 1 road win this season.

The Pistons have really struggled to shoot the ball this season and in their last 3 games they are shooting less than 39% from the floor. Their best shooting night of the season came in a home win facing the Bucks.

The Pistons will need to play good D tonight to win and their defense has been solid this season ranking 11th in the league in opponents points allowed while their offense ranks 28th in points per game.

[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

The Pistons are 7-2 in their last 9 games against the Bucks and have won 2 straight facing them.

To begin the season Milwaukee was playing solid defense, but they have given up an average of 116.5 ppg.

Larry Sanders leads the Bucks in rebounding, but he is only averaging 6.8 rpg. He will need help on the glass tonight against the big man Detroit duo of Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond, who are each averaging over 10 boards per game.

Brandon Knight leads the Bucks in scoring and he is averaging 19.3 ppg, 7.3 rpg, and 8.6 assists per game in his last 3 games against the Pistons.

The Pistons have a balanced scoring team led by former Milwaukee G Brandon Jennings, but he is a question mark for this game with a thumb injury. It is key that the Pistons shoot the rock well from the outside so the Bucks don’t pack the lane to contain Monroe, who ranks 2nd on Detroit in scoring.

Milwaukee rookie Jabari Parker (11.6 ppg) has played well this season, but is coming off a season-low 6 points in the Bucks last game.
