First, the Bucks aren’t the most adept on the road where their record is .500 including against some teams not in the upper echelon. Second, teams have figured out the Bucks primarily pack the paint to defend. This leaves the middle of the court open.
As for perimeter defense, Milwaukee is middling ranking 16th.
Although not a long term issue Giannis Antetokounmpo sat out a game recently due to a sore neck. Upon his return, he scored a season low (12) and was far from his normally aggressive self.

Six Bucks scored in double-digits in the December 5 115-92 win over Milwaukee with Eric Bledsoe leading the way (27).
Malcolm Brogdon missed the game on Friday with a sore hamstring but is expected to play Monday against the Pistons. Likewise, Khris Middleton missed Friday’s game with a sprained finger but is also expected to suit up.
Detroit Pistons
With the win over Boston on Saturday it ended a six game losing streak for Detroit. Andre Drummond was a beast on the boards grabbing 20 rebounds. It’s the eighth occasion he’s pulled down 20 or more rebounds this season (with a further 15 games of double-digit rebounds). Additionally, Drummond scored 19 points, swatted five blocks and had three steals.
The Pistons rank 21st offensively, 12 defensively and 19th in net differential. The latter is the most concerning given it is a negative (-0.6). Detroit is one of two teams with a negative net differential in the East’s top eight seeds.

Zaza Pachulia (illness) was out versus Cleveland and is uncertain Monday. Glenn Robinson III (ankle sprain) and Henry Ellenson (ankle) are both expected out until late December. Ish Smith (right adductor muscle tear) won’t be back until late January.

Free Milwaukee Bucks vs. Detroit Pistons NBA Prediction:
Detroit is desperate to win with their recent regression but plays much better at home while the Bucks are less successful on the Road (6-6). Still, it will be difficult to overcome Milwaukee especially if Antetokounmpo is fully healthy.
