Why The Bucks Could Cover The Spread/Win

The Bucks are a great team, but they have not covered the odds well, going 16-24-1 against the spread. Additionally, they are 8-10 against the spread on the road. The Bucks are also 7-9 against the spread as a road favorite. Moreover, they are 3-9 against the spread in division play. The Bucks are also 5-11-1 against the spread when having the same amount of rest as their opponents.

Everyone will be looking to see if Antetoukounmpo plays. So far, he has scorched the league, averaging 31.2 points and 11.4 rebounds per game while shooting a remarkable 60.8 percent from the field. Lillard will be the top guy if he cannot go. Ultimately, he is averaging 25 points per game while shooting 42.7 percent from the field, including 35.2 percent from the triples.

Middleton must bounce back. Significantly, he is averaging 14.3 points per game while shooting 48.4 percent from the field, including 37.8 percent from the three-point line.

Malik Beasley is averaging 11.7 points per game while shooting 49 percent from the field, including 47.5 percent from the triples.

The Bucks will cover the spread if they can continue to score in bunches. Then, they need to showcase their defensive skills and force the Pistons into taking bad shots.

The Pistons are 17-23-1 against the spread. Furthermore, they are 7-12-1 against the spread at home. The Pistons are also 7-9-1 against the spread as a home underdog. However, they are 3-4-1 against the spread in division play. The Pistons are also 10-11-1 against the spread on equal rest.

Cade Cunningham has been out with an injury. Therefore, others have to step up.
