The 3rd week in the NBA is starting with a 7 game night but I'm going to talk about Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons. Milwaukee is the only team in the league right who hasn't lost a single game as they have 5 wins in a row and 3 of them have been with at least 11 point margin. Detroit lost 5 games in a row but last night they pulled a surprise as they beat defending champions Golden State Warriors and now the Pistons have 2 wins in 7 games.

Detroit isn't the team that is going to compete for something this season. Both victories the Pistons collected at home but on the road, the results have been very poor. Detroit didn't have a chance against the Knicks (-24), pretty close game was against the Pacers (-9) but they were demolished in Washington as well (-21). This will be the 2nd game in 2 days for Detroit and last season they won only 6 out of 13 back-to-back games. Milwaukee hasn't traveled a lot so far as they visited Philadelphia in the first game but now is 2 games away from completing 6 game home stand.

If we compare team stats, there is not much difference in the offense as both teams are very close in the offensive rating (Bucks - 112.7, Pistons - 111.3) but the biggest difference is on defense. Milwaukee has demonstrated the best defense so far this season (rating of 102.6) but Detroit is 2nd worst (120). The Bucks average 113.4 points per game and allow 103 (lowest in the league) but the Pistons score 112.3 per game and allow 121.6 (3rd worst).

I'm confident that Bucks will cover the handicap. Both teams are on different levels. Bojan Bogdanovic has been great for the Pistons and yesterday he signed a contract extension but I wouldn't be surprised if he misses tonight's game because Detroit is in search of a top draft pick, not victory. Cade Cunningham has been great as well but now he's facing Jrue Holiday who can lock up nearly everyone in the league. The biggest question is who's going to stop Giannis Antetokounmpo? Last season he averaged 30.5 points against the Pistons but played only 30 minutes. Right now Detroit doesn't have anybody who could be labeled as a defensive specialist and it is going to be a long night for them.

Last season Milwaukee lost 1 game at home versus Detroit but overall the Bucks have won 13 out of the last 14 games at home versus the Pistons. The last 5 wins have been by an average of 16.2 points and I'm sure that tonight Milwaukee will secure 6th win in a row and it is going to be very comfortable.

NBA的第三周将以7场比赛的夜晚开始，但我将谈论密尔沃基雄鹿队和底特律活塞队。雄鹿是联盟中唯一一支没有输过一场比赛的球队，他们已经取得了5连胜，其中3场至少有11分的分差。底特律连败5场，但昨晚他们出人意料地击败了卫冕冠军金州勇士队，现在活塞在7场比赛中取得2胜。

底特律并不是本赛季想要争夺什么东西的球队。活塞在主场获得了两场胜利，但在客场，结果都很糟糕。活塞在对阵尼克斯(负24)的时候没有机会，对阵步行者(负9)的时候也很接近，但是他们在华盛顿也被击败了(负21)。这将是底特律在两天内的第二场比赛，上赛季他们在13场背靠背比赛中只赢了6场。密尔沃基在第一场比赛中客场挑战费城时并没有远行，但现在距离完成6场主场战还有2场比赛。

如果我们比较两支球队的数据，我们会发现两支球队在进攻端没有太大的差异，因为两支球队的进攻效率非常接近(雄鹿112.7，活塞111.3)，但最大的差异是在防守端。密尔沃基展示了本赛季迄今为止最好的防守(评分为102.6)，但底特律排在倒数第二(120)。雄鹿场均得分113.4分，失分103分(联盟最低)，而活塞场均得分112.3分，失分121.6分(倒数第三)。

我有信心雄鹿队能克服障碍。两支球队处于不同的水平。博扬·博格达诺维奇在活塞表现出色，昨天他与活塞续约，但如果他错过今晚的比赛，我不会感到惊讶，因为活塞是在寻找一个选秀权，而不是胜利。凯德·坎宁安也很出色，但现在他面对的是朱·霍乐迪，后者几乎可以锁定联盟中的所有人。最大的问题是谁能阻止字母哥?上赛季他对活塞场均30.5分，但只打了30分钟。现在底特律没有任何可以被贴上防守专家标签的球员，这对他们来说将是一个漫长的夜晚。

上赛季雄鹿在主场输给活塞1场，但总的来说雄鹿在过去14场主场对阵活塞的比赛中赢了13场。最近的5场胜利平均领先16.2分，我相信今晚雄鹿将获得6连胜，这将是非常舒适的。
