Milwaukee — The Pistons open their series against the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks as heavy underdogs on Sunday night at Fiserv Forum. After losing all four regular-season meetings, the Pistons will have to find a way to win four games in a best-of-seven series to keep their season alive.
For a franchise that hasn’t won a playoff game since 2008, just getting a win or two could be considered the cherry on top of a successful season. The Bucks (60-22) had the best record in the NBA this season and have the MVP favorite, Giannis Antetokounmpo, while the Pistons’ best player, Blake Griffin, is listed as questionable because of an injured left knee.
