Pistons at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 135, Pistons 115

Moneyline

PASS.

Milwaukee (-2200) will pick up the win, but -2200 is simply never worth the risk of betting on. Bet on the spread and/or Over/Under instead.

Against the spread

LEAN BUCKS -17.5 (-110).

The Bucks are the better team on both sides of the ball and are obviously the hotter and more talented team. Detroit is only 1-10 on the road this year, while the Bucks are 12-2 at home. The Pistons are also 0-5 ATS in their last 5 overall and 2-8 ATS in their last 10.

This is a very heavy line and neither team has been good ATS this season, so there is a fair amount of risk associated with this bet.

Over/Under

BET OVER 240.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in each of the last 3 Milwaukee-Detroit matchups and has hit in back-to-back games for the Bucks. The Over is also 2-1 in Detroit’s last 3 overall and is 6-1 in Milwaukee’s last 7 overall. Detroit’s defense is among the worst in the league, and Milwaukee has already eclipsed the 120-point mark vs. the Pistons this season.
