With both the Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons coming off Emirates NBA Cup wins last night, this game should provide a good measuring stick on where each group is at. It is also the first regular-season matchup between these two—their last matchup was a Detroit preseason shellacking of Milwaukee, 120-87.
Where We’re At
Last night’s 99-85 win over the Toronto Raptors hopefully takes some pressure off the heavily scrutinised Bucks heading into this B2B. That victory halted a two-game slide against the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics.
