Detroit Pistons vs Milwaukee Bucks: Current situation
From being one of the worst teams in the league over the past 5 seasons to tripling their win total this year and securing a direct playoff berth. That is the Detroit Pistons season in a nutshell, head coach J.B. Bickerstaff will likely win the coach of the year award. In the last 3 games of the season they have a chance to climb up the standings, however in order to do so they’ll have to win all 3 games, including 2 against the Bucks.
Milwaukee has had a rough year, but despite all the adversity they are still the 5th seed in the East which would see them face a formidable foe in Indiana. In theory the Bucks can still overtake Indy if they win all 3 games and the Pacers lose all 3 of theirs, but chances of that are very slim so for Milwaukee it would better to concentrate on beating the Pistons to secure the 5th seed.
Detroit Pistons Stats & Form
Detroit suffered a 4th loss in 5 games as they fell at home to the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. Cade Cunningham made a triumphant return to the line-up scoring 35 points, but he couldn’t do much about the duo of DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine as they combined to score 80 points to beat the Pistons. Detroit’s rebounding will need to improve, they allowed 18 on offense to Sacramento the other day.
Milwaukee Bucks Stats & Form
Milwaukee is coming off a heroic 24-point comeback against the Minnesota Timberwolves in their last game, which could prove to be a valuable win in the grand scheme of things. Giannis Antetokounmpo notched a triple double with 23 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in what was one of the games of the season for the Bucks. They remain without Damian Lillard who is out with blood clots, but as long as Giannis is producing like this there is no concern for the Bucks future.

Interestingly enough the over has cashed 7 times in the last 10 meetings as well.

Betting tip and prediction: Detroit Pistons vs Milwaukee Bucks (11.04.2025)
The main issue for the Pistons coming into this game is the fact that they’ll be playing on a 2nd night of a back-to-back as they face the Knicks on Thursday night. Cade Cunningham and co. are only 6-8 SU in this scenario this season, so their chances won’t be high on Friday. Also, if they are unable to beat the Knicks they are pretty much out of the race for the 5th seed so there is also a possibility of them resting all their starters if this happens. Meanwhile, the Bucks still have everything to play for as they’ve not yet given up on the hope of catching the 4th seeded Pacers. The two teams are likely to meet in the first round with Indiana having home-court advantage as things stand currently. However, if the Bucks are able to win all 3 of their remaining games and the Pacers lose theirs, due to the head-to-head tie-breaker the Bucks would leap over the Pacers on the final day of the regular season. However, chances of that happening are not that high, but as long as there is a chance Giannis Antetokounmpo and co. will not give up. The Greek Freak just had a triple-double in the Bucks win over Minnesota, he will be amped up to get one over the Pistons who the Bucks have beaten in both meetings so far this season. Milwaukee has dominated this match-up for the past several seasons, I see no reason why we should consider backing Detroit here. Go with the Bucks.
