The Detroit Pistons play host to the Milwaukee Bucks at Little Caesars Arena on Thursday evening.

This marks the first action after the all-star break for either team. The Pistons (19-38) entered the break on a four-game losing streak and have lost eight of their last 10 games, while the Bucks (46-8) won eight of 10 games coming into the break. Giannis Antetokounmpo (personal) missed the last two games before the all-star break but was able to play in the all-star game, alongside Khris Middleton.

Antetokounmpo leads the Bucks, averaging 30.0 points, 13.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game. Khris Middleton was playing great going into the break, as he averaged 24.4 points on 52.7 percent shooting, including 50.7 percent from long range, over the last 10 games. Brook Lopez provides a strong presence in the paint, as he is averaging 2.6 blocks, in 27 minutes per game. The Bucks average a league-best 119.6 points per game and are shooting, 48.0 percent from the field, which is second best in the league.

Meanwhile, the Pistons are 0-2 since trading Andre Drummond and will have more changes to get used to, as they completed a buyout with Reggie Jackson over the break. Derrick Rose leads the Pistons, averaging 18.2 points and 5.8 assists per game. Christian Wood will likely continue to see an increased role, while he is averaging 16.4 points and 7.9 rebounds, in 27 minutes per game over the last 10 games. The Pistons average 108.0 points per game, but they are giving up an average of 110.6 points against.
