Detroit Pistons Form

Detroit enter this matchup having rebounded from a couple of recent defeats to improve to 17-4.

The Pistons were the hottest team in the NBA between the end of October and late November, as they embarked on a 13-game win streak.

That run included a 129-116 victory when they visited tonight’s opponents, Milwaukee, back on November 22.

Detroit’s red-hot run was ended by a 117-114 defeat in Boston, and they then fell to a 112-109 defeat when they returned home to take on Orlando.

The Pistons have got back on track in recent days though, backing up a 138-135 victory in Miami with a 99-98 win at home to Atlanta.

Milwaukee Bucks Form

Milwaukee come into this game on a terrible run of form, having now lost eight of their last nine games to slip to 9-13.

The Bucks’ miserable form began with a 119-95 defeat at home to the Los Angeles Lakers, and that was followed by a 123-114 overtime loss in Cleveland.

They then dropped three straight at home, falling 123-114 to Philadelphia in overtime, 129-116 to Detroit and 115-103 to Portland, before heading out on the road for defeats to Miami, 106-103, and New York, 118-109.

Milwaukee finally stopped the rot when they returned home to beat Brooklyn 116-99, but their joy was short-lived.

The Bucks immediately returned to losing ways as they began December with a 129-126 defeat at Washington.

Verdict

These two teams are headed in opposite directions heading into this matchup at the Fiserv Form.

The Bucks are on a miserable run while the Pistons have been stacking up wins since late October, so we are backing Detroit to leave with a victory and a cover.
