Sunday, April 10th the Milwaukee Bucks vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers for the fourth and final time this season. Milwaukee leads the season series 2-1 with victories on December 6th (112-104) and January 26th (115-99) while Cleveland won on December 6th, (112-104).
Both teams last played on Friday with the Bucks defeating the Pistons 131-101 while the Cavaliers lost 107-118 to the Nets. Milwaukee is on a three-game win streak while the Cavs have lost three in a row.
All-time the Bucks have the advantage of winning 129 of 224 matches versus the Cavaliers. Last season the squads played three times with Milwaukee sweeping the series.
Milwaukee Bucks
The two, three, and four seeds are still very much in play with the Bucks, Celtics, and 76ers each vying to fill up those spots.
Because the Bucks beat the Pistons on Friday they can clinch the second seed with a win versus the Cavaliers.

Similarly, if the Celtics win and the Bucks lose then Boston would take the second seed. If the teams tie the Celtics get the second seed by virtue of a fifth-level tiebreaker.
Notably, the Bucks can’t fall any lower than third because they own the tiebreak versus the 76ers and are a game up on Philly.
The initial injury report had several Bucks listed as doubtful but only Middleton was doubtful of the Big 3. The last update shifted that situation dramatically and now it sure seems like they are trying to drop down to the third seed.
Since they know they can’t fall to fourth and have to face the red-hot Raptors this move seems geared to Milwaukee trying to drop to third and nab the coveted sixth-seeded Bulls.
The updated report is telling …
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Brook Lopez (back), Khris Middleton (wrist), and Bobby Portis (shoulder) are all doubtful. George Hill (abdominal) and Grayson Allen (hip) are out Sunday versus the Cavaliers.
Cleveland Cavaliers
All four play-in teams are in action Sunday with the seeds still up in the air. The Nets took over the seventh seed by virtue of beating the Cavaliers this weekend and also own the tiebreak.
In fact, the only team of their play-in counterparts Cleveland owns the tiebreak against is the Hornets. Having dropped to eighth and up one game on the Hawks that means if they lose this match and Atlanta wins the Cavaliers would plummet to ninth.
Worse – if the Hornets win on Sunday combined with a Cavaliers loss they would fall all the way to 10th.
All four teams are playing at 3:30 with Brooklyn hosting the Pacers, Charlotte hosting the Wizards, Atlanta on the road in Houston, and this match.
Dean Wade (knee) and Jarrett Allen (finger) are out indefinitely while Collin Sexton (knee) is out for the season.

Free Milwaukee Bucks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Prediction
Initially, it didn’t seem like the Bucks cared about facing the Nets but based on that injury report it definitely appears like their tune has changed. If Antetokounmpo, Lopez, Middleton, and Portis are all out the advantage leans heavily in the Cavaliers’ favor.
Again, because Milwaukee owns the tiebreak over the 76ers they can afford to lose this game but would need the Celtics to win in order to drop to third.
Meanwhile, the Cinderella season of the Cavaliers could have a devastating end if they end up dropping all the way to tenth and their playoff lives all tied up in a single eliminations game played on the road.
