Bucks vs. Cavaliers Prediction

The Bucks, the No.2-ranked team in the Eastern Conference right now, are averaging a respectable 112.6 points per game. Star power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has been leading the offensive charge with an average of 31 points per game. His potential absence from tonight's game does not bode well for the Milwaukee outfit.

The Cavaliers, meanwhile, have enjoyed the impressive offensive efforts of Donovan Mitchell this season. Mitchell is averaging 28.4 points per game and his current injury issues are a worrying sign for the Cleveland outfit. They will have the defensive edge tonight, as they so often have this season. Their 107.1 surrendered points average is the lowest in the league right now.

With the home-court advantage and first-class defense, the Cavaliers should be able to just about overcome the Bucks tonight.

Prediction: Cavaliers -1.5 (-110)
