Bucks in tough against mighty Pistons
The underdog Milwaukee Bucks will open their first-round playoff series on the road against the top-seeded Detroit Pistons on Sunday night.
Detroit had a league-leading 64-18 record during the regular season, while the Bucks squeaked into the playoffs with a mark of 40-42.
The Pistons were listed as big, 11-point home favorites on the opening line for this game. The opening total was set at 187 points.
Experience is definitely on Detroit's side in this series as they gun for their third straight berth in the NBA Finals. The Pistons beat the Bucks in three of their four meetings during the regular season.
Michael Redd could be the key to the Bucks' chances of staying close in this series, as he led the team in scoring at 25.4 points-per-game on the season. The below-.500 Bucks need him at or above that level of play in the playoffs.
