Khris Middleton's availability is uncertain.

In the Summer League, the Bucks lost every match. Rivers' team does not particularly need wins in these games, so they may not play at full strength again. On the other hand, for Detroit, success in this matchup could boost their confidence. It is quite likely that the Pistons will secure a victory.
Our prediction is a win for Detroit at 1.81
