Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: Nov. 3 at Detroit Pistons

Finale

It’ll be interesting to see how the Bucks deal with yet another matchup against one of the NBA’s larger centers, particularly with Greg Monroe‘s continued absence. Unlike Steven Adams and Dwight Howard, Drummond isn’t known for embracing physicality, though, and certainly isn’t single-handedly elevating his team in terms of being at the center of a wider rebounding culture.

The Pistons will have to deal with the potential terrors that come from facing up against Giannis Antetokounmpo with a point to prove, as it seems almost certain the Greek Freak will look to bounce back from Wednesday’s disappointment with a statement showing in Detroit.

There’s plenty to play for in the first meeting between these Central Division rivals at the Little Caesars Arena, and a variety of interesting storylines to watch out for too.
