What channel is Detroit Pistons game vs. Milwaukee Bucks? Time, TV, stream
The Detroit Pistons visit the title-contending Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night.
The Pistons are reeling, with five straight losses all by nine points or more, and a confounding amount of unavailable players two weeks into the season.
The players who were available to play Monday gave the Golden State Warriors good cardio for most of the contest, until Stephen Curry's squad ran the overmatched Pistons off the floor with a 27-12 finish over the game's final eight-plus minutes. Of the Pistons' 14-man main roster, just seven were active to play, but they did get a boost from two-way contract player Stanley Umude (15 points) in the 120-109 loss at Little Caesars Arena.
The Pistons will get their first look at Damian Lillard in a Bucks uniform. He has been hot and cold in six games, averaging 22.7 points on 40% shooting with five assists.
The Bucks, who have won the Pistons' Central Division for five consecutive seasons, have had a productive past few games, clipping the New York Knicks on Friday, 110-105, and knocking off the Brooklyn Nets on Monday, 129-125, behind 36 points and key blocks from their superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Next up for the Pistons will be an in-season tournament game Friday at home vs. the Philadelphia 76ers.

Pistons injury report vs. Bucks
The Pistons are missing a trio of potential rotation players: forwards Bojan Bogdanovic (calf strain) and Isaiah Livers (ankle sprain) and point guard Monte Morris (quad strain). All three will be reevaluated by late November.
The Pistons during Monday's loss to Golden State were also without Joe Harris (shoulder sprain), Alec Burks (forearm contusion), Jaden Ivey (illness) and Jalen Duren (ankle). That left the Pistons with seven healthy players, plus their three two-way contract players. Duren is the only one with a chance to play Wednesday, listed as questionable.
The Bucks are managing Khris Middleton (knee) early in the season and are sitting him vs. Detroit with a game in Indiana on Thursday.
