<p>Detroit dropped its fifth straight Monday night in a listless 103-82 defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks. The loss dropped Detroit to 4-18, while the Bucks moved to 9-11.</p>
<p>Pistons center Greg Monroe continued his stellar play, knocking down eight-of-12 shots for 16 points. He added 10 boards to make it four straight double-doubles.</p>
<p>Rodney Stuckey and Tayshaun Prince added 19 and 14, respectively, while Austin Daye chipped in 10 points in 37 minutes off the bench. Starter Ben Wallace logged only eight minutes and recorded three rebounds and no points.</p>
<p>The Pistons hit just one-of-nine three-point attempts.</p>
<p>The Bucks were led by Brandon Jennings’ 21 points, while reserve Mike Dunleavy tacked on a season-high 20. Milwauke hit a sterling 10-of-17 from downtown. Dunleavy and forward Tobias Harris were each two-for-two from distance.</p>
<p>The 21-point victory was tied for the Bucks’ biggest margin of victory on the season.</p>
<p>Next up for Detroit is a trip to New York to take on the Knicks, who have lost nine of their last 10.</p>

<p>The Pistons start off their back to back to back Monday night against the Milwaukee Bucks.</p> <p>The 4-17 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.detroitbadboys.com/">Detroit Pistons</a> are now on their second game of a four game road trip, and it's not going to get any easier as the next three games of the trip take will place three days in a row. The first test in the back to back to back after a 95-74 loss to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.libertyballers.com/">Philadelphia 76ers</a> will be Monday night against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.brewhoop.com/">Milwaukee Bucks</a>.</p>
<p>Milwaukee is coming off a big win against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/">Lakers</a>, and will have plenty of confidence against a Pistons team that have proven themselves to be one of the worst teams on the road if not the worst team on the road in the league. The Bucks are 5-2 this season at home, a bright spot in their otherwise mediocre 8-11 record.</p>
<p>The Pistons won't have particularly tougher tests after Monday's game as they travel to meet the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.postingandtoasting.com/">Knicks</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/new-jersey-nets">Nets</a>, but starting off the trek with a win will be a welcome change to the Detroit team who have lost 14 of their last 16 games and four straight.</p>
