An Eastern Conference NBA matchup early on Sunday morning as the 1-4 Milwaukee Bucks host the 3-2 Cleveland Cavaliers. The Bucks are 13th and the Cavs 5th as things stand. Cleveland have had the better of the Bucks in recent years and with the loss of Giannis Antetokounmpo, it should remain that way.

The only win that the Bucks have produced this season came at home to the Indiana Pacers two starts back, taking their heaviest defeat so far in their most recent contest when the Houston Rockets came to town, leaving with a 32-point win. 

It is defensively where the biggest struggle has been this season, giving up 127+ points in each of their four defeats with just two franchises giving up more. Scoring has been below league average but the Rockets game has made that a touch more extreme than it should be.

Cleveland arrive off the back of a defeat in Atlanta, also losing on the road at the Philadelphia 76ers in their opening game of the season. That 0-2 record has been helped out by being a perfect 3-0 at home. 

The losses have only come by a combined 11 points and both sides are better than the Bucks, so they have a chance to get the road monkey off their back at the third time of asking in a matchup that they have dominated in recent years.

Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

Giannis Antetokounmpo was always going to be a difficult player for the Milwaukee Bucks to replace as they go into rebuilding mode, and that has proven to perhaps be even harder than expected given their start to the season. Cleveland have taken on stronger teams so far than the Bucks and although they are 0-2 on the road, those losses came to a strong Philadelphia 76ers and a much fresher Atlanta Hawks team who met the Cavs on the rear of a back-to-back. Cleveland have dominated this matchup in recent years and can continue to do so. Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction is the Cavaliers -8.5.

Cleveland Cavaliers -8.5
