Bucks at Pistons: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Bucks 123, Pistons 110
Money line (ML)
The Bucks (-550) will cost you more than five times your potential return, and that’s just not worth the tremendous risk, even if the Pistons (+400) are pretty terrible. PASS, and look to the spread instead.
Against the spread (ATS)
The BUCKS -10.5 (-110) are a decent play on the road against the lowly Pistons +10.5 (-110). These teams just met for a two-fer Jan. 4-6, with Milwaukee winning at home 125-115 in the first game, and 130-115 in the second of the double dip, going 1-1 ATS.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 224.5 (-110) is the play whenever the Bucks are involved. They lead the NBA with 121.9 PPG, and they’re second in both field-goal percentage (49.4) and free-throw percentage (41.1). The Over also hit in each of the first two meetings between these sides Jan. 4-6, and the Over is 4-0 in the previous four meetings, and 5-0 in the past five at LCA, too.
