The Detroit Pistons are in a bit of a letdown spot after upsetting the Warriors, and this is a quick turnaround for a young team coming off an emotional high. The Milwaukee Bucks are making an early case as the best team in the league, and they have a history of blowing the doors off in spots they're supposed to blow the doors off. The Bucks are playing elite defense up to this point, and they're covering numbers. Thick line, but it's hard to step in front of the Bucks and this hot start. Give me the home team in a comfortable victory.
