The Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons will face each other for the second consecutive contest. The Bucks defeated the Pistons in a narrow 110-108 victory on Monday night. The 6-0 Bucks will look to keep their winning streak alive against the 2-6 Pistons once again at home in Milwaukee. The Pistons, though, are a tougher team than their record appears. One of their two wins came recently in a 128-114 win over the defending champion Golden State Warriors. If the Bucks are to keep piling up the wins, they are going to have to do so without a few key contributors. Earlier today, The Athletic‘s Eric Nehm released the team’s injury report for tonight’s game.

What Will the Bucks Lineup Be Against the Pistons?
As Bucks fans know, the team has been without key contributors Khris Middleton and Pat Connaughton since the season began. Additionally, free agent signee Joe Ingles will not be ready until midseason as he recovers from a torn ACL. Sandro Mamukelashvili and AJ Green have only played garbage time minutes.
With these players out, there is no question that the Bucks will go with the same starting lineup that they have utilized so far this season. That is, Jevon Carter will start in place of Khris Middleton, joining Jrue Holiday, Grayson Allen, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Brook Lopez.
