The best team in the Eastern Conference faces an opponent today that, years ago, people thought would be a multi-time champion.
The Detroit Pistons keep getting better and are 17-4, having won two in a row after a minor hiccup.
The Milwaukee Bucks, meanwhile, have Giannis back but are still only 2-8 in their last 10, and are coming off a loss to the Washington Wizards.
Yes, the Bucks allowed Washington 71 points in the second half of a 129-126 road loss. Were they looking ahead to Detroit after taking a halftime lead? Giannis had 32 points in 26 minutes.
NBA betting odds have to lean to Detroit, which is playing at another level, while Milwaukee is simply mediocre.
