Pistons at Bucks: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Bucks 124, Pistons 102
Money line (ML)
The Bucks (-1600) are as big of money line favorites as you will ever see in the NBA. Despite Milwaukee being just 3-3 on the season, they are obviously the more talented team in this game. They’ve also won 10 straight games against Detroit and this should turn into a blowout sooner rather than later.
With the Bucks being such big favorites, there isn’t enough value on the money line to place a bet. Instead, PASS in favor of the point spread.
Against the spread (ATS)
The BUCKS -15.5 (-115) are double-digit favorites over the Pistons on Monday night and yet, it still doesn’t feel like enough points. Milwaukee is averaging 124.5 points per game on offense this season, while Detroit has one of the NBA’s worst defenses. This should be a really ugly game from the start and one that could easily turn into a 20 or 30 point win for the Bucks.
The Pistons have failed to cover the spread in their last nine games against the Bucks. These two teams couldn’t be further apart from one another. Take the Bucks giving the points in this one.
Over/Under (O/U)
Milwaukee will have to do most of the heavy lifting in this game in order for the OVER 224.5 (-115) to hit, but don’t be surprised if that’s the case. Look for the Bucks to score into the 120s.
