Milwaukee Bucks at Detroit Pistons Overview
Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks put the hurt on the New York Knicks when they hosted them on Monday as they delivered the Knicks the worst loss of their campaign when they defeated New York 132-88. Covering was never a question as the Deer galloped to the window as a 16.5-point favorite.
Detroit Pistons
The Pistons step into this game with their heads high as they earned their second road win this season with style. Closing as a 3.5-point favorite, the Pistons marched into Cleveland and handed the Cavaliers a 127-94 thumping, covering easy as they did so.
Reasons To Avoid Milwaukee
Milwaukee’s dominance against their divisional rivals will place them in a position to be overvalued. When it is added into the mix that the Bucks are the hottest team in the NBA right now, they are all the more prone for an overlay. Nothing typifies this narrative more than the Bucks going 5-5 ATS despite winning all of their previous ten contests.
Reasons To Back Detroit
Detroit remains one of the worst road teams in the NBA in terms of wins and losses, but they might have changed their stars after last night. Nevertheless, the Pistons are quite a formidable foe on their own floor as they are 6-4 SU in Motown. In fact, Detroit wins games at home by an average margin of 6.8 points while Milwaukee bodes a +9.9 margin away from home. This sets up Detroit to be taking back an advantageous number in this position.
