Milwaukee Bucks vs Detroit Pistons Analysis
The Detroit Pistons suffered another disappointing season abroad, losing 126-108 to the Chicago Bulls in Paris, France. Bojan Bogdanovic scored 25 points for the Pistons. Killian Hayes was the only French player on either roster, scoring four points on Detroit’s 2-of-13 shooting, while having a game-high eight assists. Hamidou Diallo scored 17 points for Detroit on 7-for-8 shooting. Jaden Ivey and Saddiq Bey had 16, respectively. The loss saw Detroit fall to 12-36, which is the second-worst NBA record. Victor Wembanyama, the French 19-year old phenom and presumed number1 NBA draft pick was watching some of his opponents next season.
In Saturday’s 114-102 defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Milwaukee was shorthanded and was exposed in the interior. Jrue Holiday had 28 points and Bobby Portis Jr. had 23. The Bucks lost their fifth consecutive game without Giannis Antetokounmpo. Two-time MVP Antetokounmpo is still recovering from a left knee injury. Three-time All-Star forward Khris Midton and Antetokounmpo were injured in an accident on December15. However, Milwaukee is still in the top half. Serge Ibaka (personal reasons), and Milwaukee’s top office agreed to trade him earlier in the week so that he won’t be part of any future championship runs. Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer stated Antetokounmpo is not in any pain. Antetokounmpo, 28, has been able to participate in 5-on-5 exercises the past few days. He could be back any day. Budenholzer said that the team’s decision to have him sit was a team effort. However, Antetokounmpo will ultimately decide if he is ready to play. Given that the next game against the 12-win Pistons is on the horizon, expect the Bucks to give Giannis another day off. They are currently at 29-17 going into this game.
