4* NBA ULTIMATE ROAD WARRIOR

Milwaukee vs. Detroit, 02/03/2012 19:30 EDT, Score: 80 - 88

Point Spread: -4½/-105 Milwaukee

Sportsbook: TopBet

Result: Loss

The Detroit Pistons are a miserable 4-20 this season. In those 20 losses, ONLY TWO have been decided by less than 6-points. The Bucks are just 10-11 on the season, but come into this game playing their best basketball of the season. They have won three straight and six of their last eight overall. Milwaukee hosted the Pistons on Monday and posted an easy 103-82 win. While I don't think they will win by 20+ again tonight, I'm extremely confident that they will win by at least 5 points!

Things aren't going to get better for Detroit until they start getting some players back from injury. They will be without Ben Gordon, Will Bynum, and Charlie Villanueave, and there is a good chance that Rodney Stuckey won't play or will at least be limited due to an ankle injury.

The Bucks aren't a great road team, but they tend to take care of business against bad teams. They are 21-6-2 ATS in their last 29 road games vs. a team with a losing home record and a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. BET THE BUCKS!
