Cade Cunningham is the leading scorer for the Detroit Pistons in the current NBA season. He is leading the charts with an average of 27.6 points with 6.5 rebounds and 9.2 assists through 19 games in the campaign thus far. Cunningham is shooting 45.2% from the field and 29.2% from the deep. In the recent game against Portland on Friday, he dropped 29 points with 46.7% shooting from the field and 50.0% from beyond the arc. In fact, in the last five games, he dropped 29 points or more thrice. Given how the Pistons sit above the Bucks in terms of offensive and defensive standings as well as the fact that their all-round star Giannis Antetokounmpo will be out of action for sometime, we can expect Cunningham to score 28 points or more on Saturday.
Detroit Pistons vs Milwaukee Bucks Predictions
The Detroit Pistons kicked off the season on a decent note, but made their way through the top of the Eastern Conference standings as the season proceeded. Currently, they have the second best record in the league with 18-5, behind Oklahoma City Thunder’s 22-1. Though they have had to face some hiccups in recent times, given how the Pistons have been performing, we can expect them to get back on track soon and not lose anymore games. Talking about their stats, the Pistons are 14th in the league in terms of offense with an offensive rating of 116.0. However, their defensive rating of 110.8 gives them the third spot in the standings.
On the other hand, we have the Milwaukee Bucks, who, like every other season, had high hopes in the beginning, but haven’t been able to do much. The Bucks are struggling big time with a mediocre 10-14 record. However, given that they are one of the recent champions, it is heartbreaking to see them go through such a slump. The Bucks are heavily dependent on Giannis Antetokounmpo, and what adds to their woes is the fact that the Greek Freak will be out for almost a month due to calf strain.
The Bucks need to find an alternate to make their way through this situation, and it is high time they learn to do so. It is because the rumors of Antetokounmpo wanting to leave the team are hot again, and the Bucks wouldn’t want to be clueless if the trade comes into existence.
