The 7-0 Cleveland Cavaliers will look to extend their unbeaten streak to start the 2024/25 NBA season when they host the struggling 1-5 Milwaukee Bucks. We’ve got a prediction ready for this high-profile Eastern Conference match!
This will be the second time these teams face off in the past two days as they play the second half of a home-and-away doubleheader.
The Cavaliers impressive start saw them extend their winning streak to seven straight after a wild finish saw them score a 114-113 win at the Fiserv Forum. Donovan Mitchell nailed a pull-up jumper with only 0.3 seconds remaining in the game to secure the victory for the Cavs.
Cleveland will now return to the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse where they’re 3-0 on the season with wins over the Pistons, Lakers and Magic.
It’s been a disastrous start for Milwaukee who would have entered the season with championship aspirations. Only one win from their first six outings has them sitting rock-bottom in the Eastern Conference.
The Bucks have suffered on defense where they rank 24th in the NBA with 118.7 points allowed per game. It hasn’t gone much better on the other side of the ball as Milwaukee ranks just 20th in points scored at 111.3 per game.

Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
The big injury news is surrounding Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, who could potentially miss out for this one. He’s listed as questionable at the moment and things will become clearer the closer we get to tip off.
With that being said, this is looking to be a solid buy-low spot for a team that is much better than the results that they’ve put up so far. Had Mitchell rimmed out on that buzzer beater, Milwaukee would’ve walked away with the win and the oddsmakers might be singing a different tune. Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Milwaukee Bucks prediction: Bucks +7.
