Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
We took this same bet against the same opponent the other day, and it cashed without any sweat. I see no reason to not go back to it at the same number. Donovan Mitchell is a gifted scorer who can get hot quick, this should be three made field goals for him for how skilled of a deep ranger shooter he is.
Mitchell has 7+ 1st quarter points in 10 of his last 12 games. He has faced off against Milwaukee twice this year, and has opening quarters of 14 and 11 points. He has played nine minutes in both games, and barring foul trouble, he should see a similar amount of minutes again.
Milwaukee just fired their head coach, but I’m guessing it will take some time to implement some better defensive strategies. I expect the Bucks to be the same defense that get torched by elite guards who can score tonight. Mitchell falls under that category, and we need to keep backing him while Garland and Mobley remain out. Let's roll!
