How to Watch Milwaukee Bucks at Detroit Pistons: Stream NBA Live, TV Channel

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard lead the Milwaukee Bucks against Detroit in their first NBA preseason game.

The first year playing together for two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and eight-time All-Star Damian Lillard with the Milwaukee Bucks was more down than up. They head into the preseason with a full year of experience and two camps together to try and lead Milwaukee back to the NBA Finals. That journey starts against the Detroit Pistons, who have won 23 games or fewer in five straight seasons. Those lean years have gifted Detroit four straight top-five picks, led by 2021 No. 1 overall pick Cade Cunningham. This season Cunningham leads one of the most exciting young cores in the NBA in Jaden Ivey, Amen Thompson and rookie Ron Holland to try and get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2019.

Cunningham is coming off a career-best season where he averaged 22.7 points, 7.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game on 45-35-87 shooting splits in 62 games. All of his individual shooting and scoring numbers went up while still being a playmaker for his teammates, showing flashes of being the number one option Detroit drafted Cunningham to be four years ago.

Along with all of the young talent Detroit has collected over the past four drafts it also spent this offseason adding veterans to help lead the team back to respectability. Veteran Tobias Harris signed with the team in the offseason along with sharp-shooter Malik Beasley and reserve big man Paul Reed. They join floor spacers Tim Hardaway Jr. and Simone Fontecchio who were both acquired via trade.

The combination of veterans and young talent give Detroit a very different look heading into this season, led by new head coach J.B. Bickerstaff.
