Detroit Pistons vs Milwaukee Bucks prediction

The Detroit Pistons are the worst team in the league by a long shot, and them being on the end of a back to back here doesn’t help. However, this is a line you don’t often see in the NBA, and I just can’t lay it. The Milwaukee Bucks still don’t play much defense and when these teams clashed last month it was a two point game. The Bucks play the Rockets on Sunday, so this should be a win and get out situation. No reason to run the starters into the ground. Give me the road dog.
