1.MIL v 8.DET
Injuries
MIL-Brogdon(out for the first round),Snell(likely to be out for first 2 games),Mirotic(probable for Game 1),DiVincenzo(out for the season),Pau Gasol(out for 2 weeks)
DET-Blake Griffin(day to day),Mykhailiuk(out for the season)
Stats Comparison
Category MIL DET Advantage
OFFRTG 112.7 108.3 MIL
DEFRTG 106.4 108.6 MIL
NETRTG 6.3 -0.3 MIL
REB% 51.7 50.9 MIL
AST% 60.8 57.9 MIL
TOV% 13.6 14.0 MIL
EFG% 54.4 50.9 MIL
Note-MIL’s stats are Brogdon’s off the court stats to factor in his absence from this series.
Advantage-MIL in terms of stats comparison
MIL is better than DET in all statistical aspects even without Brogdon.
Comparison of Starting Lineups
MIL DET Advantage
Bledsoe Reggie MIL
Snell Bruce MIL
Middleton Ellington MIL
Giannis Griffin MIL
Lopez Drummond DET
Advantage-MIL has the better starting lineup and the best player on the court in Giannis even with them being injury plagued.
Drummond is better than Lopez in a vaccum but Lopez fits perfectly in the Bucks system as a stretch big.
Playoff Experience
MIL DET
252 games 129 games
Advantage-MIL
This total is the sum of playoff games played by the 10 players with the most mpg on either roster.
Prediction-MIL in 5
The only reason why I do not have MIL in 4 is because of all the injuries the Bucks have which may cause them to drop one game.However,as long as Giannis is healthy ,the Bucks will win this series easily.
If Griffin misses games then the Pistons are bound to get swept and for DET to even fight well,they need Griffin healthy and playing the way he did in the regular season which will be tough against Giannis who is one of the best two-way players in the league.
I expect Middleton to ball out like last year too and Bledsoe will have a better performance than last year when he was outplayed by Scary Terry.
There is no way MIL loses this series.
