Milwaukee Bucks vs Detroit Pistons Prediction 11-13-24 NBA Picks

The Milwaukee Bucks play host to the Detroit Pistons at the Fiserv Forum on Wednesday night. Here’s a Milwaukee Bucks vs Detroit Pistons Prediction. This article will include a Milwaukee Bucks vs Detroit Pistons Pick.

The Detroit Pistons are starting to play some decent basketball as they’ve won four of their past six games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after sneaking past the Heat in a thrilling 123-121 overtime home win last night. Cade Cunningham led the team with 21 points, seven rebounds and nine assists, Malik Beasley added 21 points off the bench, Jaden Ivey tallied 19 points with nine rebounds and seven assists while Tobias Harris chipped in with 18 points, seven rebounds and four assists. As a team, the Pistons shot 46 percent from the field and 13 of 36 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in trouble when they squandered an early 18-point lead, but they made up for it in overtime where they escaped on a controversial technical foul that gave them the lead with just 1.0 seconds left on the clock.

Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have been in terrible form as they’ve lost eight of their first 11 games overall, but they will be hoping to build some momentum after blowing past the Raptors in a 99-85 home win last night. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 23 points and seven assists on nine of 12 shooting, Bobby Portis provided the spark off the bench with 17 points and eight rebounds while Brook Lopez chipped in with 13 points and three blocks. As a team, the Bucks shot just 40 percent from the field and 16 of 56 from the 3-point line, but this game was won with their defense as they restricted the Raptors to just 34 percent shooting from the field which meant they were always in control.

Why the Milwaukee Bucks will win

• The Pistons have lost each of their last 11 road games against Eastern Conference opponents after winning as underdogs.
• The Bucks have won 25 of their last 26 games against the Pistons.
• The Pistons have failed to cover the spread in each of their last five games against Central Division opponents.
• The Bucks has covered the spread in each of their last five home games with both teams on the second leg of a back-to-back.

Total Points Facts

• Each of the Pistons’ last seven road games have gone UNDER the total points line.
• Eight of the Bucks’ last nine games have gone UNDER the total points line.

The Pistons are keeping an eye on Tim Hardaway Jr who is listed as day to day, while the Bucks are still without Khris Middleton and Damian Lillard currently. Don’t look now, but the Pistons are coming into this matchup as the team in better form and they will be full of confidence following last night’s thrilling overtime win over the Heat, while the Bucks were in terrible form before they snapped out of it with a much-needed win over the lowly Raptors last night. This would usually be an automatic play on the Bucks at the modest line, but the Bucks haven’t been themselves and they are still banged up, so I am looking at the Pistons to pull off the upset in this spot.
