Milwaukee is battling Detroit for the No. 5 seed, and both played last night. The Bucks have won six in a row, including a 110-103 victory over Minnesota two games ago as a +6 underdog. Giannis Antetokounmpo had triple-doubles in three straight before getting 28 points and 11 rebounds in a 136-111 rout of New Orleans last night. They were in the second of a back-to-back last week and beat New Orleans, 111-107, on the road. Milwaukee is 12th in the NBA in points (115.1 ppg), fifth in shooting (48.6%), and second from long range (38.4%), while the defense is 13th in points given up. Detroit is 18th in defending beyond the arc and has lost four of the last six. That includes a 127-117 home loss to the Kings two games ago as a -5.5 favorite. Milwaukee has won the previous 10 meetings against the Pistons, including 127-120 and 128-107 victories this season. Play Milwaukee on the moneyline.
