Bucks go for another home win in clash with Pistons

Basketball Betting Lines

02/09/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Bucks hope to finish a brief two-game homestand in perfect fashion Tuesday, when they welcome the Central Division- rival Detroit Pistons to the Bradley Center.

The Bucks won for the fifth time in six games on Saturday, when Andrew Bogut finished with 21 points and eight rebounds in Milwaukee's 93-81 win over the Indiana Pacers.

Luc Mbah a Moute added 18 points and 11 boards for the Bucks, who have won seven straight on their home floor and now sport a 16-7 mark in Brew City. Carlos Delfino and Jerry Stackhouse scored 16 and 14 points, respectively.

"There was a little bit of a cushion for us," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "It was their smalls against our smalls and we were fortunate enough to get it (the win)."

Milwaukee, which finished last in the Central in each of the previous three seasons, is now just percentage points behind Miami for the eighth and final spot in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt.

The Pistons, meanwhile, have taken up residence in the Central's cellar this season, but are coming off a home win over lowly New Jersey on Saturday. Jonas Jerebko scored 20 points in a perfect 9-of-9 performance from the field, while also pulling down seven rebounds as Detroit earned a 99-92 victory over the Nets.

Richard Hamilton poured in 17 points and Rodney Stuckey contributed 10 points and 11 assists for the Pistons, who have won two of three since a five-game skid. However, both wins came over the hapless Nets sandwiched around a blowout loss to Indiana.

"I thought we did a great job sharing the ball," Pistons guard Will Bynum said after topping New Jersey. "Most of all, we made shots tonight. That's the key."

These two teams have spilt a pair of meetings this season, with each holding serve on its home floor. The Bucks, meanwhile, will be aiming to win eight straight as the host for the first time since a 10-game spurt from December 10, 2003-January 15, 2004.
