*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Sunday, evening, January 22nd. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Monday, January 23rd.
Milwaukee Bucks
Giannis Antetokounmpo missed his fifth consecutive game due to a sore knee while Khris Middleton missed his 18th in a row and without them, the Bucks weren’t able to generate enough offense.
They won the opening frame but lost the next three quarters behind a career-best night from Evan Mobley.
The Bucks are 2-3 without Giannis but Head Coach Mike Budenholzer said the superstar is practicing with the team in five-on-five situations and the star will ultimately make the decision when he’s ready to return.
Stats
As can be seen, opponents score the sixth-fewest points with the Bucks allowing 111.4 per game limiting opponents to 45.6% from the field and 34.9% from deep ranking fourth and eighth respectively.
As a result, offensively, the Bucks score 112.4 points per game ranking 24th, while shooting 45.6% from the field and 35.5% from the perimeter ranking 25th and 18th in the latter two categories
Additionally, Antetokounmpo (knee) and Khris Middleton were both upgraded to probable. Serge Ibaka (personal) is out.
Detroit Pistons
Turns out it doesn’t matter what country the Pistons are in to tank. That was the case this past week as Detroit flew to Paris, France to play the Chicago Bulls.
With both teams struggling it was a far cry from the MJ Bulls who played in France the last time the NBA sent over teams. Bojan Bogdanovic led the scoring for the Pistons with 26 points.
Stats
Pistons’ opponents average 119.6 points per game ranking 29th while limiting foes to 49.4% from the field and 36.0% from deep ranking 29th and 16th respectively.
Offensively, the Pistons score 112.0 points per game which ranks 25th. From an efficiency perspective, the Pistons shoot with 45.3% efficiency from the field and 35.5% from the perimeter ranking 27th and 17th respectively.
Killian Hayes (shoulder) is questionable while Isaiah Stewart (shoulder), and Marvin Bagley III (hand) are out indefinitely. Cade Cunningham (shin) had surgery and was shut down for the season.

Free Milwaukee Bucks vs. Detroit Pistons NBA Prediction:
The injury update hints at both Giannis and Middleton returning. The question isn’t about Milwaukee winning it’s by how many points. And even that isn’t a given, because the Bucks aren’t in rhythm playing with a healthy roster.
It’s logical to expect some rust and awkwardness as the team regains its chemistry and flow.
That said, Giannis taking the extra game off and pinpointing this match is likely because it affords both him and Khris the opportunity to ease back in.
