Season Series
Last season the teams split their four-game regular season series while the Bucks hold the all-time record between the clubs with 131 victories in 230 matches.
Milwaukee Bucks
Scoring remains the Bucks’ weapon of choice as they routinely post high-scoring games but the defense is still a work in progress.
At the halfway mark of the season, Damion Lillard has meshed well with his new teammates averaging 25.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.8 assists, and a steal per match.
Alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo (31.2 points, 11.4 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.9 blocks) the pair form one of the most lethal duos in the association.
Bucks Stats
Milwaukee’s key categories find them ranked second offensively (121.1), and 19th defensively (116.3) with a net differential of plus +4.8 which ranks eighth overall.
Betting on the Bucks against the spread is a tricky proposition given their 16-24 record in that category.
Bucks Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Jae Crowder, SF (upgraded to probable — groin)
Cleveland Cavaliers
Despite missing two of their top three players (Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley) the Cavs continue to rack up wins. In their absence, Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen are carrying the offensive load.
The big question in Cleveland is whether they stand pat on Mitchell and whether there are ongoing talks between the player and the team. If the guard is intent on leaving in free agency it would behoove Cleveland to try to move him at the deadline so they get some return back for him.
Cavaliers Stats
Through this point in the season, Cleveland ranks in a tie for 19th offensively (114.2), and eighth defensively (112.2) with a plus +2.0 net differential that ranks 11th overall.
Cleveland continues to rank in the middle against the spread with a 19-17-2 record through 38 matches this season.
Cavaliers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Ty Jerome, PG (downgraded to OUT—ankle)
- Caris LeVert, SF (questionable —wrist)
- Darius Garland, PG (OUT indefinitely — jaw)
- Evan Mobley, C (OUT indefinitely — knee)

Free Milwaukee Bucks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Prediction:
On paper, this should be an easy win for Milwaukee, but the Bucks are closer to .500 (9-8) on the road. Perhaps that’s because offense doesn’t travel like defense and the latter is where they’ve struggled to find consistency.
Cleveland on the other hand is more consistent defensively but is missing key members of their core and subsequently can’t afford to get into shootouts.
