For the 2nd straight game, Milwaukee Bucks are going to host Detroit Pistons. A few days ago teams met for the 1st time and it was a nail-biter as the Bucks won only in the last minute (110:108) thanks to Jrue Holiday's successful three-pointer. Although it was a close game, I don't expect to be the same in this one as I'm very confident that Milwaukee will crush opponents.

Why I'm so confident? The Pistons hold Milwaukee to 110 points and that was Detroit's 2nd best performance on defense this season. Detroit is 2nd worst defensive team per advanced stats and allows 3rd most points per game. The Pistons' opponents this season shots with a field goal percentage of 48.6 but the Bucks shot only 43.7% which is also below their season average. Milwaukee made only 27.5% of three-pointers although their season average is 33.5. Detroit made 44.6% of shots while the season average for the team is 43.4% - the difference isn't huge but it is worth some points.

The Bucks allowed 108 points on Monday night and that is tied for 2nd worst performance on defense. Milwaukee allowed 108 points also against the Knicks and 115 against the Hawks but those teams are clearly better on offense than Detroit. I will remind you that the Bucks are the best defensive team in the league (defensive rating of 103.7) and allow the lowest points per game (103.8).

It is 2nd time this season that the Pistons are playing against the same team 2 times in a row in the same venue. Last week Detroit hosted the Hawks 2 times. The first game was very close and the Pistons lost by only 5 points. The next game was very different as Atlanta crushed Detroit winning by 24 points. I'm confident that this is going to be the same story.

The Pistons did almost everything as well as they could have on Monday night on the defensive end of the floor and still lost. You can’t expect that kind of performance again, especially against a Milwaukee team that will certainly make adjustments as they don't want Detroit to jeopardize their winning streak. Giannis Antetokounmpo should be also very motivated as this was his 3rd lowest scoring game this season and he got only 7 rebounds while in other games he didn't have less than 12.

密尔沃基雄鹿队将连续第二场主场迎战底特律活塞队。几天前两队第一次相遇，这是一场紧张的比赛，雄鹿在最后一分钟(110:108)凭借朱·霍勒迪成功的三分取胜。虽然这是一场势均力敌的比赛，但我不期望在这场比赛中也能如此，因为我非常有信心雄鹿会碾压对手。

为什么我如此自信?活塞把密尔沃基逼到了110分，这是活塞本赛季防守第二好的表现。底特律的防守排名第二，场均失分排名第三。本赛季活塞的对手投篮命中率为48.6%，但雄鹿的投篮命中率只有43.7%，也低于他们的赛季平均命中率。密尔沃基的三分球命中率只有27.5%，尽管他们的赛季平均三分球命中率是33.5。活塞的投篮命中率为44.6%，而全队的赛季平均投篮命中率为43.4%——差距并不大，但值得得分。

雄鹿队在周一晚上的比赛中只得到108分，这是他们在防守端第二糟糕的表现。雄鹿在对阵尼克斯和老鹰的比赛中分别失了108分和115分，但这两支球队的进攻能力显然比底特律强。我要提醒你的是，雄鹿是联盟中防守最好的球队(防守效率103.7)，场均得分最低(103.8)。

这是活塞本赛季第二次在同一地点连续两次对阵同一支球队。上周底特律两次主场迎战老鹰。第一场比赛非常接近，活塞只输了5分。接下来的比赛很不一样，亚特兰大以24分的优势击败底特律。我相信这将是一个相同的故事。

周一晚上，活塞在防守端竭尽所能，但还是输了。你不能再期待这样的表现了，特别是面对雄鹿，他们肯定会做出调整，因为他们不想让底特律破坏他们的连胜纪录。字母哥也应该非常有动力，因为这是他本赛季得分第三低的比赛，他只有7个篮板，而在其他比赛中他的篮板不少于12个。
