Cavaliers vs Bucks Prediction
The Cavs are starting to get healthy and put together wins, while the Bucks are coming off a shaky week where the offense hasn’t produced much. The Cavs are 4-10 ATS on the season, but the Bucks have covered just 3 of their last 10 games. Antetokounmpo is listed as probable, but he is dealing with a knee issue that has him on the injury report.
The Bucks have cashed tickets for us already this season, but their current form isn’t great, and it feels like the Cavs have found another gear lately. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the Cavaliers at home.
