Bucks vs Pistons Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
DET Pistons -19.5(-110)

The Bucks season hit a new low point on Tuesday with a 96-90 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, as if it could get any worse than it already is. This team has been in shambles for quite some time now, with Giannis and the front office going back and forth regarding his situation. The on court product hasn’t been pretty either, although they’ve shown glimpses of decent play in wins over Dallas and Memphis lately, those are tanking teams and it’s really hard to take those games into account. They are massive underdogs against the Pistons on Wednesday, playing in a 2nd night of a back-to-back scenario. For what it’s worth, all 3 meetings between the two teams have been decided by less than the 19.5 point spread set for Wednesday’s game.

There is good news on the horizon for the Pistons ahead of this game with their star and leader Cade Cunningham getting upgraded from doubtful to questionable. It’s been almost 3 weeks since his collapsed lung injury, the Pistons would be thrilled to get him for these remaining 3 games of the regular season. If that happens it’ll be a priority for them to get their superstar back into the flow after a long layoff. Even without him Detroit has played extremely well, not showing any signs of slowing down. The good part about Wednesday’s game is that they’ve not yet secured the number one seed, so there is incentive on their end to win this game as well.

Blowing out a team is never easy, even if that team are the Milwaukee Bucks on a 2nd night of a back-to-back. However, if we take a large enough sample size of the last 15 games, we can notice Milwaukee’s Net Rating of -11.2 Points during that period which ranks 26th in the NBA. They’ve had a consistent three-point shot over the past 6 games, hitting 20 or more on 3 occasions, that’s the one thing they can base their optimism on going into this game. However, after watching them lose to the Nets I cannot justify backing them to cover against the best team in the East. Take Detroit.

Bucks vs Pistons prediction: Pistons -19.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
