The Milwaukee Bucks are set to clash with NBA Eastern Conference counterparts the Detroit Pistons in a preseason game that promises to be an intriguing encounter. The game will start on a Sunday evening at Little Caesars Arena.
Doc Rivers has been busy bolstering his squad in all areas. The most significant changes came with the departure of Malik Beasley, Jae Crowder, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Patrick Beverley, and Danilo Gallinari.
To fill these voids, the Bucks acquired Delon Wright, Taurean Prince, and Gary Trent Jr. The Bucks also secured picks in the first and second rounds of the NBA Draft, acquiring AJ Johnson and Tyler Smith.

On the other hand, last season was disastrous for the Pistons, as they set a franchise record for the longest single-season losing streak with 28 games. This, coupled with a 17-65 record, made it the worst season in the team's history.
They quickly rolled the dice, hiring J.B. Bickerstaff and making a flurry of moves to reshape the team, including acquiring Malik Beasley as a free agent, trading for Tim Hardaway Jr. and Wendell Moore Jr., signing Tobias Harris and Paul Reed, and drafting Ron Holland and Cam Spencer.
Fans may see a different Pistons line-up on the opening day of the preseason to set the stage for what could be a season of evolution.
