Momentum with Cavaliers
The Cavaliers are playing their best basketball since LeBron James left.
They won their eighth in the row when beating the Orlando Magic 126-99 on the road, which was their second consecutive road win.
Facing the Bucks is another kettle of fish, but the Cavaliers have all the momentum in the world, and they’re getting +6.5 points at the sportsbook.
NBA injuries have reared their ugly head with Darius Garland missing from the lineup, but Donovan Mitchell is doing more than enough to keep them winning.
The superstar averages 27.8 points per game, and he’s getting help from Jarrett Allen, who is a beast on the boards.
We’re not sure if the Cavs are an NBA title contender, but they’re hard to bet against given the current odds.
It was only last week when they dismantled the Bucks 135-95, which likely led to the Bucks firing their head coach.
Trouble in Paradise
Ouch! Despite coaching the Bucks to a 30-13 record and three games clear of the Cavaliers with NBA standings, Adrian Griffin got the boot.
We’re not going to speculate why he was fired, but it seems like either an internal issue, or the Bucks pushed the panic button following the loss to the Cavaliers.
It’s one of the strangest firings of all time, and we’re not sure how they’re going to respond.
Doc Rivers is tipped to take over, but in the meantime, their assistant coach fills in. We don’t see how that would change their results, but it’s not like they were performing poorly.
They bounced back from the Cleveland loss with two wins over the Pistons, scoring 141 and 122 points respectively.
Our Cavaliers vs Bucks betting tips must take into account the firing. Teams can often lift for a new coach, but until a new coach arrives, they might go backwards.
The Bucks have a terrible ATS record of 16-26-1. That statistic doesn’t improve much at home with 8-13-1, so covering the -6.5 spread could be tricky.
Continue to Back Cleveland
Our Cavaliers vs Bucks betting tips finds no reason to bet against Cleveland.
It has been the much better team, and there is clearly disruptions in Milwaukee that we want no part of.
It was a 40-point win to the Cavaliers last week, so we’re taking the +6.5 line with open arms.
We’re also including under 237 in our NBA betting predictions. Despite NBA defenses getting progressively worse, they teams pride themselves on playing defense.
It could be a score line around 118-104 to the Cavaliers.
