The Milwaukee Bucks and Cleveland Cavaliers meet Saturday in NBA action at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
The Milwaukee Bucks look for a win after winning 12 of their last 17 games. The Milwaukee Bucks are averaging 121 points on 49 percent shooting and allowing 112.2 points on 45 percent shooting. Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 27 points and 11.2 rebounds while Khris Middleton is averaging 20.7 points and 5.9 assists. Jrue Holiday is the third double-digit scorer and Brook Lopez is dishing 0.7 assists. The Milwaukee Bucks are shooting 40 percent from beyond the arc and 73.3 percent from the free throw line. The Milwaukee Bucks are allowing 39 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 48.8 rebounds per game.
The Cleveland Cavaliers need a win after losing six of their last eight games. The Cleveland Cavaliers are averaging 103.7 points on 45 percent shooting and allowing 108.7 points on 46.6 percent shooting. Collin Sexton is averaging 24.3 points and 2.5 rebounds while Andre Drummond is averaging 18.2 points and 2.7 assists. Darius Garland is the third double-digit scorer and Jarrett Allen is grabbing 7.9 rebounds. The Cleveland Cavaliers are shooting 35.7 percent from beyond the arc and 71.6 percent from the free throw line. The Cleveland Cavaliers are allowing 39.3 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 44.2 rebounds per game.
The Bucks are 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 Saturday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. The Cavaliers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The over is 4-0 in Bucks last 4 overall. The over is 7-3 in Cavaliers last 10 overall. The Bucks are 1-3-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Cleveland and 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
The Milwaukee Bucks are going to be laying these sort of numbers against lesser competition, but there’s some value on the other side. The Cleveland Cavaliers hung around with the Bucks last night before running out of gas in the second half and I doubt the Bucks are going to shoot as well as they did. There’s also a potential letdown spot here, as I’m sure the Bucks aren’t exactly thrilled about playing the Cavs team twice in as many days. Maybe a loss of focus a bit? Either way, give me the points.
