Tonight's NBA slate features a classic David vs. Goliath matchup, but with a surprising twist. The Detroit Pistons, having already clinched the Eastern Conference's top seed, host a Milwaukee Bucks squad that is limping to the finish line. The massive point spread tells the story: the Bucks, down to just eight healthy bodies in last night's loss, aren't expected to put up much resistance.
While Detroit may manage minutes for key players like Cade Cunningham, one sharpshooter is poised for a big night. Duncan Robinson, fresh off a rest day, is set to return and feast on a vulnerable Milwaukee defense. The Bucks have struggled all season to defend the perimeter, ranking 27th in opponent three-point percentage.
Robinson has been on a tear from deep, hitting three or more triples in six of his last eight games. With Cunningham likely on a minutes restriction, Robinson should see plenty of opportunities to let it fly. His scoring prop is juiced, but the smarter play looks to be his three-point line. The value lies in backing Robinson to continue his hot shooting against a Bucks defense that has consistently given up open looks from beyond the arc all year long.
