The Bucks have a favorable fixture as they face the Pistons before they face some serious games. The last game against the Nuggets, showed fatigue setting in as they succumbed to the Nuggets.
It will be a straightforward affair between the two, and we can expect the Bucks to maintain the tempo of the game throughout.

Nonetheless, the Bucks have all to play for as they look to ensure their top seed going into the game.
