I was definitely in the camp that though the Pistons would be able to give the Bucks a game in the opener. That was off and this series looks like it could be easy sweep.
Interestingly, the spread is up after game one and the total down. The oddsmakers are really not showing much confidence in the Pistons here.
Detroit Pistons
The Pistons were out of it from the get go in game one. Blake Griffin was a scratch and they had no one even close to being able to match his production.

The word is that Griffin is not going to play in the series so now they have to figure out what to do. They went with Thon Maker in his place hoping that a long body might be of some value. It wasn’t.
Maker came to the NBA with the Bucks but his development stalled big time. Detroit just doesn’t have a lot of options to go with.

No Griffin means a lot more shots for the backcourt duo of Reggie Jackson and Wayne Ellington. They did very little with them. Jackson is a guy who can take over but Milwaukee is a good defensive team so it is tough.
Game one might have been the worst case scenario for the Pistons but I am still not sure what they can do to get more competitive.
Milwaukee Bucks
Not only did the Bucks get a good opening game win, they did not have to work particularly hard to get it. No player played even 30 minutes and they had more than a day off after the win so they should be able to really get after Detroit again.
Giannis had only 24 points but he tacked on 17 rebounds in just 23 minutes of action. It is hard to be more productive than that. Seven bucks had ten or more points and the entire starting five had just one turnover for the game. They were very sharp.

With this game at home and the Bucks totally healthy there is no reason to think they cannot come out, dominate early and cruise to another win. That is a lot of points to cover though.

Free Detroit Pistons vs. Milwaukee Bucks NBA Prediction:
The Bucks won with so much ease it was natural to increase the line for game one. It makes me nervous spotting that many points though.
The total came down too and that is where I am going to make my bet.

Detroit will be better. They still might not cover but they get into the 90s at least and we can get our over.
