This will be the fourth meeting of the season between the Bucks and the Pistons. Detroit has won two of the three games. Each team covered the spread on the road with two Bucks covers.

Detroit has a road record of 5-18 on the season. The Pistons break a three game losing streak after a 119-109 home win on Friday night against the San Antonio Spurs as a +5 point underdog. The game came in at over 197 ½ points. The Pistons erupt for 51.7% shooting with 10 of 22 from the three point line. They crush the Spurs on the glass by a 49-33 margin. They allow San Antonio 45.7% from the field. Greg Monroe had 26 points and 16 rebounds on 9 of 16 shooting. The Pistons are a top half defense in the NBA in all three key areas of defense this season which are points allowed, field goal and three point defense.

The Bucks are 13-10 on their home court. They drop two straight games all on the road. They come off the 100-86 road defeat on Wednesday to the Utah Jazz as a +5 ½ point underdog. The total came in at under 199 ½ points. It was a back to back spot after losing at Denver the night before. Milwaukee shoots just 35.4% from the field and 6 of 19 from three. They allow 48.1% shooting to the Jazz. Brandon Jennings had 17 points and 4 assists on just 5 of 16 shooting. Inefficiency from the Bucks guard tandem and Jennings and Monta Ellis has really created a low ceiling for this Bucks team.
