Pistons vs Bucks Prediction
The current betting odds have the Pistons listed as an 8 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Pistons have looked great in their games this season with their 13-2 record overall which has them right at the top of the East with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have also been a great road team this year with their 5-1 road record. Meanwhile, the Bucks haven't looked great in their games this season with their 8-8 record overall which has them lower in the East at the moment. They haven't looked that great on their home court either with their 5-4 home record this season. They have been dealing with some injuries now, missing Giannis Antetokounmpo, and they haven't looked as good without him in the lineup. They are off a loss in OT to the 76ers in their last one and they have lost 3 games in a row now too. The Pistons have been rolling in their games lately with 11 wins in a row now and they have been blowing out a lot of teams during that time. They managed to get by with injuries as they have a really deep team, but now they are getting healthy again and have looked even better. The Pistons are also more rested here, having last played on Tuesday, so look for them to take advantage of a Bucks team missing their best player. The best way to place a bet here is on the Pistons to cover the spread in this game.
