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 Iveyโs assist prop. Heโs 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.
