Cleveland Cavaliers vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
The Milwaukee Bucks are in a letdown spot after winning the NBA Cup, and now they’re without Lillard. Antetokounmpo is expected to play but dealing with a knee issue. Middleton is still sick. Oh, the Cleveland Cavaliers are also 23-4 SU on the season while covering 19 of those games. The Cavs continue to roll and have a major edge at home against a banged-up Bucks side. I’ll lay the points with the Cavs.
