Milwaukee Bucks vs Detroit Pistons prediction

The Milwaukee Bucks are more than capable of blowing the doors off here, and they should be big favorites over a historically bad Pistons team. However, the Bucks are one of the worst defensive teams in the league, and I’m not excited to lay big chalk with them regardless of opponent. This is also a weird start time where weird things can happen. Double-digit chalk and the Bucks is not the move for me. Give me the Pistons and the free buckets.
