Friday, November 25th finds the Cleveland Cavaliers facing the Milwaukee Bucks for the second of four scheduled meetings this season. The Bucks won the initial meeting on November 16th (113-98). Cleveland will host matches on December 21st and January 21st.
Both teams last played Wednesday with the Cavaliers beating the Blazers 114-96 while the Bucks lost 113-118 to the Bulls.
Last season the clubs played four times with the Cavaliers winning three of the four contests. The Bucks hold the all-time record with 129 wins in 226 matches versus Cleveland.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The young Cavs are proving teachable as the ‘fat cat’ comment from head coach J.B. Bickerstaff has reaped immediate benefits.
They arrive on a four-game win streak and other than the track meet versus the Hornets have looked decidedly better and more focused on the defensive end.
Cleveland limited the Heat (87), Hawks (102), and Blazers (97) all close to the century mark a decisive improvement over the 118.1 average they allowed during the five-game losing streak.
Offensively, Cleveland scores 115.5 points per game which ranks eighth while they shoot 48.7 percent from the field which is tied with the Celtics in fifth, and 39.8 percent from the perimeter ranking second overall.
Cleveland allows opponents to score an average of 107.6 points per game with ranks sixth-best. The Cavaliers limit their foes to 45.5 percent from the field tied with the Suns for seventh and rank 19th with opponents shooting 36.1 percent from the perimeter.
Kevin Love (thumb) and Caris LeVert (ankle) are questionable for Friday. Dylan Windler (ankle) and Ricky Rubio (knee) are out indefinitely.
Milwaukee Bucks
Clearly, the Bucks’ offense isn’t at full speed given Khris Middleton and Pat Connaughton’s absences. The latter made his season debut versus the Blazers.
Undoubtedly his presence alone helps improve Milwaukee’s floor spacing and eventually when he shakes off the rust it’ll benefit the Bucks’ 3-point shooting.
So take the Bucks’ offensive stats with a grain of salt because Middleton will make a major impact once he’s back. Through 17 games, Milwaukee averages 111.5 points per game (16th) while shooting 44.9% from the field (25th), and 34.0% from the perimeter (22nd).
In contrast, they shine defensively, holding opponents to 107.5 points per game which is the fourth-fewest. Opponents shoot 44.8 percent from the field ranking fifth and fell to 17th after a few tough outings allowing opponents to shoot (35.9 percent) on average this season.
Khris Middleton (wrist) and Joe Ingles (knee) are out indefinitely.

Free Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Milwaukee Bucks NBA Prediction
The last time the Cavaliers lost it was against the Bucks and since that game, Cleveland has racked up four straight wins.
In contrast, the Bucks are 2-4 in their last six with the two wins aided by absences – Cavs missed defensive talent Jarrett Allen, and Blazers top player Damian Lillard was out.
Milwaukee was gifted an extremely easy opening quarter schedule. They began the season on the road in Philly but have only played five more road games losing three of them and needed overtime in OKC.
Moreover, only six opponents had winning records plus two at .500 (Knicks/76ers). Their next 20-game segment will be much tougher including 12 road games.
They’ll face 12 teams with .500 or better records as well as the Warriors, Nets, and Bulls, plus play two back-to-back sets and a baseball set.
Middleton spent time with the G-League group getting in practice sessions this week and was originally projected to be back this month which no doubt the Bucks are hoping for as the schedule gets harder.
All players hate to lose but Antetokounmpo shows it outwardly so if I base my pick on that factor alone I’d say the Cavs better be ready for a laser-focused Giannis.
