The Detroit Pistons (18-5) will host the Milwaukee Bucks (10-14) tonight. The injury of Giannis Antetokounmpo has left the Bucks without any fire power, as he has been averaging 28.9 PPG this season. Even more of a concern is that it will make them weaker on the boards and they can’t get much worse on that front currently ranked 28th in the NBA. This will be a huge concern for Doc Rivers as Detroit are ranked 2nd in the NBA for Rebounds, averaging 46.5 RPG.
Detroit have been fantastic so far this season, ranked number 1 in the East, they have won seven of their last ten matches. Cade Cunningham has been in fine form averaging over 27 PPG, and Jalen Duren has provided dominant rebounding for the Pistons.
The Stats:
Betting Tip:
1u: Detroit Pistons -12.5 pts (-110)
I think this will be an absolute domination on the boards for Detroit and cannot see Milwaukee competing without Giannis.
