Bucks vs. Pistons game thread, starting lineup, TV schedule and injury report

On By Littum

After their win last night vs Toronto Raptorswill the Milwaukee Bucks go against Detroit Pistons at Fiserv Forum in the second game of a back-to-back. Fortunately, both teams will go into this one on B2Bs, so any fatigue will be mostly equal between the sides. Either way, the Bucks will need to bring their A-game against an improving Pistons team that sits at 5-7. If Milwaukee intends to continue climbing out of the early season hole they’ve placed themselves in, winning against lesser (on paper) opponents like the Pistons is crucial. The win against a broken and bad Raptors team was a good first step. Time to steer the ship in the right direction and go for the first winning streak of the season!

As far as injury updates go, the Bucks will be without Damian Lillard (concussion protocol), Khris Middleton (ankle surgery rehab), Ryan Rollins (left shoulder instability) and, surprisingly, Bobby Portis (elbow contusion):

Detroit advances without Jaden Ivy (sprained toe), Tim Hardaway Jr. (head wound), Ausar Thompson (rehabilitation), Bobi Klintman (right calf contusion) and Simone Fontecchio (toe sprain).
