Today's Pistons vs Bucks live stream closes out the NBA regular season in style, with the return leg of a double-header. Both teams have already secured their spots in the playoffs, but Detroit have just missed out on the chance to leapfrog Milwaukee in the pecking order.

The Bucks hold the Eastern Conference's No.5 seed, with the Pistons at No.6. However, by winning their final two games the Pistons would have claimed the tiebreaker by way of conference record.

Considering thier abject start to the campaign, it's astonishing that the Pistons are in the playoff picture at all, let alone assured of automatic qualification. The additions of Tobias Harris, Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway Jr. have helped J.B. Bickerstaff turn the worst team in the NBA into an almighty stick for beating all of the tankers with.

With the No.4 Pacers agonizingly out of reach, all the Bucks can do is maintain their focus and keep getting used to winning without Damian Lillard.
