Kevin Knox II had been playing well given the minutes and he should replace Isaiah Stewart in the starting four. Bojan Bogdanovic is now the most consistent scorer for the Pistons starting at three.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Detroit Pistons key matchups

The Milwaukee Bucks vs Detroit Pistons matchup may look lopsided but there are a few key matchups that basketball fans will get to watch.

Damian Lillard vs Jaden Ivey

Damian Lillard is already an established player in the league while Jaden Ivey is still trying to earn his stripes in the league. Having led the Pistons in their last game, Ivey will hope to test himself against a prime point guard like Lillard.

Brook Lopez vs Jalen Duren

These are two shot blockers that would be exciting to watch as both serve as a 'no-fly zone' for attempting slashers in the paint. As young as Jalen Duren is, it would be interesting how he would test his strength over a bulky body like Brook Lopez.
