Cavaliers at Bucks tips and predictions

forecast

Cavaliers 117, Bucks 113

Money line

The CAVALIER (+100) It's worth playing with little money as Cleveland looks for its seventh straight win to start the season.

The Bucks (-120) simply cannot be trusted as they have suffered four straight losses and Milwaukee simply has not played well as a team. Trust the visitors to play evenly and keep playing Cleveland until things cool down.

Against the spread

AVOID.

If you like the Cavaliers +1.5 (-110), just play them straight up. There's little point in taking those few points unless you're absolutely convinced the Bucks will win -1.5 (-110), but only by 1 or 2 points.

Over/Under

UNDER 232.5 (-110) is worth a look, but play it very lightly.

The Under has conceded three straight for Milwaukee as the Bucks have had a toothless offense of late. The Bucks have scored 108 or fewer points in each of their last three games.

For the Cavaliers, the Over has cashed in consecutive games while remaining 4-2. However, the Under was able to cash in on Monday's final away game in New York.
