Bucks on the road for a back-to-back after a tough game last night.
Grayson Allen listed as out, Giannis is questionable with calf soreness. No one else on the injury report.
Pistons look like they might be trying to tank for draft position. Pistons will be without Marvin Bagley, Hami Diallo, Luka Garza, Jerami Grant, Saben Lee, and Jamorko Pickett.

Detroit time out after Middleton hits a 3. Bucks up 12-2.
Bucks defense is not giving Detroit any clean shots! 19- 4 Bucks.
At the end of the 1st Quarter it's Bucks 30, Pistons 8. Budenholzer said he wants the Bucks to play hard and they responded.
Pistons come out and hit some 3s to start the 2nd. Outscore the Bucks 13-7 before Bud takes a timeout.
Lead down to 14. The Bucks need to put this one away and have a Thanasis-led 4th.
Giannis 1 for 5 from the floor. He's missed at least 3 point blank shots so far.
Javon Carter terrible here a well. It's like he regressed to the mean within 3 minutes.
Bucks only up 11. They get outscored 18-7 the last 4 minutes.
Lead now down to 8.
Rodney McGruder with 14 points in 7 minutes.
Bucks had it back to 18, but they are letting the Pistons outhustle them a bit here to keep without deep shouting distance.
56-38, Bucks at the half.
Bucks up 18 at the half after a fairly lackluster second quarter.
Giannis with only 6 points in the first half.
Bucks stretch it out to 26 on 5 points in a row by Lopez.
Giannis with only 5 shot attempts. At 7-10-6 in 18 minutes. He's doing this as Embiid is trying to pad his stats and is campaigning for MVP.
Bucks had it to 32, but now back to 23. Still a blowout, but it would be nice to get this to 30 and have every regular sit out most of the 4th.
Bucks getting sloppy here and the Pistons will get back within 20.
Giannis and Middleton will probably have to play at least part of the 4th now.
