Outlook
- Both of these teams have just two games remaining until the All-Star break. The Bucks are trying to get back to .500, while the Pistons are doing their best to stay afloat. We’ll see which team has the greater motivation.
- Milwaukee hasn’t lost a game at The Bradley Center in 2010, their home-win streak totaling seven. Detroit, on the other hand, has lost ten of twelve on the road, dating back to mid-December.
- Indiana’s lost on Saturday, coincidentally to the Bucks, has put them tied for last place with the Pistons in their Division. That means a Detroit win coupled with a Pacers’ loss can finally bring Detroit out of the Central’s basement. Something extra, if ultimately meaningless, to root for.
- Once again, Daily Dime Live should be going strong for those of you who’d like to chat during the game.
