Milwaukee — During their five-game winning streak, the Pistons have been able to hold things together, even without two of their main rotation pieces. Stanley Johnson (back) missed three games and Jon Leuer (sprained left ankle) five games, but finally are ready to return.
It’s just in time too bolster their lineup for the three-game trip, beginning with Wednesday’s matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Pistons have been able to lean on their bench, with Reggie Bullock starting for Johnson and Eric Moreland getting a boost in playing time with Leuer out.
With the Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo looming, getting both players back helps, as coach Stan Van Gundy joked after Wednesday’s shoot-around.
