Bucks Seeks 30th Win
The Milwaukee Bucks are seeking their 30th win of the season. Milwaukee continues to shine, winning four of their last five games propelled by a barrage of scoring. This includes a 143-142 overtime home win against the Kings last week. The only loss in that span was a 135-95 road loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday. They rebounded with a 141-135 road win against the Pistons on Saturday. The Bucks have covered the spread in one of their last five games.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has scored at least 30 points in two of his last three performances. The 29-year-old star power forward did not play on Wednesday and returned on Saturday. He has recorded an average of 31.2 PPG. He scored 22 against the Pistons last month and 31 on Saturday. Damian Lillard has scored at least 25 points in three of his last four clashes. The 33-year-old point guard had his best game of the season against the Pistons, netting 45 points. Lillard is now averaging 25.5 PPG on the year. Khris Middleton has shot below 43% in three of his last four games. The veteran forward is posting an average of 14.4 PPG on 48% shooting.

The Bucks are 2-3 in their last five road games but did not cover the spread once that span.

They are conceding an average of 120.6 points, placing them 25th.
Pistons Competitive in Another Loss
The Detroit Pistons are eying their fifth win. The Pistons are obviously having a disastrous season but have been competitive recently. They lost by just two points to the Rockets last weekend and replied by earning a convincing 129-117 road win against the Wizards early last week. Detroit covered in a 124-117 loss to Minnesota on Wednesday and was marked 13.5 point dogs in the loss on Saturday. The Pistons have covered in four of their last five games.
Cade Cunningham has not played since early this month due to a knee injury. The 22-year-old point guard is not expected to return for this one. He is averaging 22.8 PPG on the season. Bojan Bogdanovic has been relied upon heavily recently. He has netted at least 20 points in two of his last four bouts. The 34-year-old forward sunk 24 points against the Bucks in December and 19 points on Saturday. He has registered an average of 19.8 PPG. Jalen Duran has been outstanding, connecting on at least 50% of his field goals in each game this month. The 20-year-old center has reported an average of 14 PPG.

Rating:
The Milwaukee Bucks continue to dazzle, winning four of their last five games. The Detroit Pistons continue to lose most games. They did recently manage to beat a Wizards team that only has eight wins but that’s it for the month.
Furthermore, the Bucks continue to dominate in the offensive end, averaging 120.7 points per 100 possessions, good for 2nd in the NBA compared to a weak Pistons offense that is only posting 110.4 points per 100. They continue to play without scoring leader Cade Cunningham. While the meeting between these squads was close on Saturday, the Pistons shot 56% from three-point range which I can’t see happening in the rematch.
Prediction: Milwaukee Bucks -11.5

Rating:
I expect plenty of scoring. The Bucks are piling on the points. They have scored at least 129 points in four of their last five games. They collected 145 points against Detroit last month in a game where the over easily delivered and posted 141 points on Saturday.
In addition, the Pistons are showing an increase in offense. They have scored at least 117 points in three straight games. Defensively, they continue to be exploited, conceding at least 124 points in seven of their last ten games. Milwaukee will attempt a ton of threes and the Pistons are marked 27th in the NBA in three-point defense. The over is 4-1 in the Pistons’ last five games against a divisional opponent.
Prediction: Over 247

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
