Expert picks & predictions for Friday’s Bucks vs. Pistons game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Under between the Bucks and Pistons:
“Milwaukee is on the second night of a back-to-back after beating New Orleans last night and resting the starters in the fourth quarter. Detroit had a tough-fought matchup with New York last time out, so I expect this to be another competitive game and defense to be at the forefront of this matchup. I lean the Under.”
