Cleveland Cavaliers vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
The Cleveland Cavaliers are not only undefeated, but they’re 7-0 ATS. The Milwaukee Bucks can’t find a way to finish games, and they’re 1-5 ATS. The Bucks are now getting more and more injured, and this line indicates they’ll be without Antetokounmpo. The Cavs can do no wrong right now and the Bucks are free-falling, and the talks of possibly moving key players are getting louder. Not great in Milwaukee right now. Give me the Cavaliers.
