Wednesday, January 24th finds the Cleveland Cavaliers facing the Milwaukee Bucks for the third of four scheduled meetings this season. Each team has won once in the two prior meetings.
This is the front side of a baseball set that will be completed on Friday. Both teams last played on Monday with Cleveland pouncing on the Magic 126-99 while the Bucks delivered a 122-113 winning effort versus the Piston then promptly fired their coach.
Season Series
Last season the teams split the regular season series each taking two contests while the Bucks hold the all-time record between the clubs with 131 victories in 231 matches versus the Cavaliers.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Tuesday, January 23rd. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Wednesday, January 24th.
Cleveland Cavaliers
Despite the Cavaliers missing core starters they continue to be competitive. Cleveland sits in fourth and that’s without Darius Garland or Evan Mobley in their line-up.
J.B Bickerstaff has switched up his offensive system without their typical starters playing with much more emphasis on the perimeter. The question is how much the coach will tweak this system once Garland and Mobley are back.
Cavaliers Stats
Through this point in the season, Cleveland ranks 18th offensively (114.7), and third defensively (111.2) with a plus +3.5 net differential that ranks 10th overall.
Cleveland performs fairly well against the spread with a 22-17-2 record through 41 matches this season.
Cavaliers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Ty Jerome, PG (questionable—ankle)
- Caris LeVert, SF (questionable —wrist)
- Darius Garland, PG (OUT indefinitely — jaw)
- Evan Mobley, C (OUT indefinitely — knee)
- Tristan Thompson, C (OUT for 25 games — suspended for using PED)
Milwaukee Bucks
It’s not often a team with 30 wins in 43 contests fires their coach but that’s precisely what Milwaukee did letting first-year head coach Adran Griffin go on Tuesday.
Part of the issue is Milwaukee is laser-focused on winning the NBA championship and while their win/loss record and second seed look promising a deeper dive shows they’ve played the easiest schedule (by far) and their defense has fallen off a cliff.
Assistant Joe Prunty will take over as the interim coach but rumor has it the Bucks are keen to hire a veteran head coach like Doc Rivers.
Bucks Stats
Milwaukee’s key categories find them ranked second offensively (120.5), and 22nd defensively (116.8) with a net differential of plus +3.7 which ranks ninth overall.
Betting on the Bucks against the spread is a tricky proposition given their 16-27 record in that category through 43 matches.

Free Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Milwaukee Bucks NBA Prediction:
We’ll see just how much the players had to do with the firing of Griffin based on their effort in this match. Typically teams who were unhappy with their coach come out with an aggressive effort following a firing so it’s bad timing for the Cavaliers to be playing Milwaukee.
Otherwise, it’s a defense versus offense battle but I tend to lean into historical trends so I’ll take the Bucks.
