NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Cavaliers to cover against the Bucks:
“Cleveland and Milwaukee met earlier in the year in a two-game back-to-back set with one day of rest in between. Cleveland won those by three combined points, but in the past meeting, the Cavaliers laid the smackdown and won by 23 points. Milwaukee is playing much better basketball, but a majority of their wins are coming against teams below .500 teams. Outside of Denver and Minnesota, you’d have to go back to 2024 to find a team with a winning record.”
