Detroit Pistons vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/03/25

The maturation process of this Detroit Pistons team can be seen in real time. After two tight losses by 3 points against the Celtics and Magic, they responded by beating the Heat and Hawks by a combined 4 points. It’s hard to find a flaw that this team has at the moment, they are undoubtedly the biggest surprise in the NBA this year with a 17-4 record over the first 21 games played. They’ll look to go up 2-0 in the regular season series against Milwaukee as the two teams clash on Wednesday at Fiserv Forum. Detroit has already won once this season in this building, some 10 days ago they put up 129 on the Bucks in a convincing 13-point win.

Giannis Antetokounmpo did not play in that game, the Bucks looked lost without him and didn’t stand a chance even with 20 threes made. The Greek Freak is back in the line-up, however he hasn’t gotten the response from his teammates. A close loss to the Washington Wizards has sparked a debate whether or not the Bucks should simply blow it all up and allow Giannis to go to a contender. Antetokounmpo himself has added wood to the fire by deleting all of his social media posts since 2021, all this certainly does not help the atmosphere around this team.

I am genuinely surprised the Pistons are only 3.5 point favorites here. Apart from Giannis coming back from injury, the Bucks haven’t done anything to convince me they can cover the spread here. Detroit is a well oiled machine, they’re 8-2 SU in road games this season and are a very solid 13-8 ATS in 21 games so far. I’ll take Cade Cunningham and co. here.
