Friday, January 26th finds the Cleveland Cavaliers facing the Milwaukee Bucks playing for the fourth and final time this season. The teams just played on Wednesday in the front side of this baseball set
Milwaukee was on the winning side of that match (126-116) to give them the 2-1 edge on the season series.
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 132 victories in 232 matches versus the Cavaliers.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Thursday, January 25th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Friday, January 26th.
Cleveland Cavaliers
With most of the upper echelon in the East making moves the Cavaliers have decisions to make.
Of the top seven teams only the Cavaliers have sat idle as Boston made huge offseason deals while Philly, New York, Miami, and Indiana all made deals to bolster their rosters and address needs. Their opponent took a more drastic approach (see below).
The issue for the Cavs is they’ve been playing much of the season without two starters but changed their offensive scheme in Garland and Mobley’s absence and will be hard-pressed to continue that system once they return due to a lack of floor spacing.
Cavaliers Stats
Through this point in the season, Cleveland ranks 15th offensively (115.1), and third defensively (111.0) with a plus +4.1 net differential that ranks ninth overall.
Cleveland performs fairly well against the spread with a 22-18-2 record through 42 matches this season.
Cavaliers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Ty Jerome, PG (OUT indefinitely —ankle)
- 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
Despite being one of two teams in the East and five in the association with 30 or more wins the Bucks fired first-year head coach Adrian Griffin this week following their victory over the Pistons.
Something has been amiss all season with the Bucks’ defense after trading Jrue Holiday for Dame Lillard and they’ve played the easiest strength of schedule.
Whether fair or not Griffin is gone and Doc Rivers is expected to take over the helm.
Bucks Stats
Milwaukee’s key categories find them ranked second offensively (120.6), and 20th defensively (116.7) with a net differential of plus +4.0 which ranks 10th overall.
Betting on the Bucks against the spread is a tricky proposition given their 17-27 record in that category.
Bucks Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Giannis Antetokounmpo, PG (probable — back)

Free Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Milwaukee Bucks NBA Prediction:
The Bucks took to the court on Wednesday dancing around the center logo joyfully seemingly in celebration (of Griffin’s firing). Some felt it was in poor taste.
While Doc knows how to get buy-in from his stars it’s hard to imagine even someone with his experience can fix a defense that has much to correct. One thing to count on will be a major uptick in Giannis-Dame pick-and-roll sets which Griffin seemed allergic to.
