  • The Bucks are 3.5-point favorites for Tuesdayโ€™s NBA Cup contest.
  • Milwaukee has won six games in a row.
  • I bet over 3.5 assists for Pistons guard Jaden Ivey.

For the final night of NBA Cup group action, the Milwaukee Bucks (10-9) will travel to face the Detroit Pistons (9-13) at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday inside the Little Caesars Arena.

Tuesdayโ€™s matchup will determine the winner of East Group B, as both teams are 3-0 thus far. The Bucks are 3.5-point favorites and riding a six-game win streak, while the Pistons have a slightly higher point differential entering this matchup.

Here is a look at the latest Bucks vs. Pistons NBA odds and my best bet ahead of Tuesdayโ€™s matchup:

Bucks vs. Pistons NBA Cup Odds, Dec. 3

  • Point spread: Bucks -2.5
  • Moneyline: Bucks -150/Pistons +125
  • Total: 220.5

Bucks vs. Pistons NBA Cup Prediction

According to the latest NBA betting lines, my favorite Bucks vs. Pistons NBA Cup prediction is over 3.5 assists for Jaden Ivey (-115) in a game that could be more competitive than most expect.

These two teams faced off on Nov. 13, and Milwaukee needed overtime to win 127-120. The Bucks have taken care of a softer schedule during their recent six-game win streak to help get back on track.

The Pistons can be a frisky team in the East, especially for the Bucks and their 2-6 record away from home.

Instead of betting on Detroit to cover the NBA point spread, I have a bigger edge on Jaden Iveyโ€™s assist prop. Heโ€™s averaging 4.3 dimes per contest this season, recording four-plus assists in eight of his last 10 outings.

I project 4.4 assists, meaning there is an edge on this over at -135 or better.
