Cavaliers vs. Bucks, 9:00 p.m. ET

Pick ATS: Cavaliers -3

There is a lot to like about Cleveland in this spot. Milwaukee has to travel and play the day after competing in a tough overtime loss, while the Cavaliers haven’t taken the floor since Wednesday. The Bucks have a number of players who have been out due to COVID protocols, so we’ll see who’s available for them closer to game time.

Over/Under: Over 214.5

Even if the Bucks are shorthanded, they should do enough to push this game toward the over. Cleveland is allowing the second most points per game defensively and on the offensive end, the Cavaliers scored at least 115 points in four of their last five games.
