The Bucks were all business in the NBA Cup, winning all 7 games to win it all. They expended a lot of energy and now have travel in this yet another road spot. Usually off a bit win like this it is a letdown spot for a team like Milwaukee, a fade spot off the championship. Cleveland at home are rested and have already beaten the Bucks twice this season. Cleveland is the well rested team in this game and the more balanced team right now. They are 14-1 straight up at home and have the best record in the league at 23-4 for the seasons. There is value in laying the points with Cleveland.

Best bet: lay the points with Cleveland.
