Detroit Pistons vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
The Detroit Pistons are a scrappy team that’s learning how to win so you can make a case for the points. The problem is the Bucks don’t lose to the Pistons, and that include a 7 point win less than a month ago in overtime. The Bucks are slowly starting to figure things out which includes wins in 8 of their last 10 games and these are must win games to continue to pad away in the standings. I’d need more points to consider the Pistons. Give me the Bucks and the soft line.
