Bucks vs. Cavaliers Prediction & Pick
It's been a bumpy couple of weeks for the Bucks, who have gone just 3-5 since their nine-game winning streak to start the year. One of those wins came against the Cavaliers in what was easily Milwaukee's finest performance of the past three weeks.
Meanwhile, Cleveland is coming in hot after winning four in a row. All of those wins were at home, however, as the Cavaliers have lost four straight road games and haven't won on the road in nearly three weeks.
This game could go either way and should be closer than the last time they played each other, but we expect the Bucks to prevail at home again.
Final Score Prediction:&# 39;Bucks: 109 | Cavaliers: 106
Bucks vs. Cavaliers Best Bet
The Bucks may be the better and more experienced team, but the Cavs have momentum on their side and will be extra motivated to prove themselves after their previous poor showing against Milwaukee. Cleveland could very well win this game outright with its balanced offense (fourth in offensive rating) and defense (third in defensive rating), so take the Cavaliers with the points.
