Prediction published on 11/19/25, 3:48 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 11/19/25 at 9:45 PM in NBA Picks

The Cavaliers secured their tenth win of the year with a 118-106 victory over the Bucks at Rocket Arena. The Cavs made 15 of 35 three-point attempts, and Donovan Mitchell delivered a spectacular 37-point performance. Cleveland now prepares to face the Rockets in Game 4 of a six-game homestand. In the betting odds, the Cavs are 2.5 point favorites to beat Houston.

Antetokounmpo's early injury-related departure gave the Cavs a fortunate break in their game against Milwaukee. Even so, the game remained close at 88-88 before a 12-3 run secured the win for the Cavs. Donovan Mitchell continued his hot streak this season, averaging 30.4 points per game.

However, the Rockets are performing exceptionally well; in November, they won their last three games and seven out of eight games this month. After a dominant 140-116 victory against the Trail Blazers, in which they scored 41 points in the first quarter and Durant had a 30-point game, the Rockets secured their ninth win of the season two days later, defeating the Magic 117-113 at the Toyota Center.
