Tuesday, October 24 finds Central Division rivals the Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks facing off. Cleveland outlasted the Washington Wizards Sunday, in a closer game than the score shows. Milwaukee enters the match
Last season, the squads played four times with the Cavaliers winning three of the four contests and Cleveland eight of the past ten matches. The Bucks however, hold the all-time record having bested the Cavaliers 117 of their 209 matches.
Cleveland Cavaliers
Despite winning 18 of 19 games the Cavaliers remain in second behind the Celtics who are starting to average closer to the mean.

Although Isaiah Thomas has yet to take the court rumors are swirling the New Year is the projected return date.
Thomas’ presence will help with the fatigue, but a concern has to be the Cavs 27th ranked defense. While they’ve improved to 24th during the past 10 games in comparison the Raptors have produced the best defense in the same period facing similarly low ranked teams.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks have lost three games in a row and will be the more rested team looking to win their first game in the season series. In the last game the teams provided an offensive explosion with a final score of 124-119.
The big difference in that game and the earlier match this season was Eric Bledsoe had not joined the squad yet.

The most intriguing aspect of the contest is whether LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo will guard each other and how destructive each will be offensively. In their most recent meeting the Greek Freak put up 40 points while James put up 30.
Bledsoe will have a true advantage over Jose Calderon, but the key may be controlling Kevin Love and the making sure to win the rebounding battle.

With the spread sitting even it’s a pick em game. Normally, the trends of three losses (Bucks) and one loss in 19 (Cavs) would suggest Cleveland is the wiser pick.
However, the Bucks haven’t played since Saturday and Milwaukee has a tendency to be streak busters. Moreover, this will be the Cavaliers third game in four nights.
