Bucks vs. Cavaliers Prediction, Pick Against the Spread, Latest Odds

The Milwaukee Bucks are heading to Cleveland today for a back-to-back rematch with the Cavaliers. These two teams met on Saturday night, and the Cavs emerged victorious on a final buzzer beater.

Things have gone from bad to worse in Milwaukee, with the latest result leaving them with a 1-5 record. Fans are losing confidence in Doc Rivers and co. very quickly, especially after a lackluster playoff effort last year. Now, Giannis Antetokounmpo is banged up and potentially missing this revenge game, making it even harder for them to find a crucial victory on the road.

On the other side, it's looking very sunny in Cleveland to start the season. They are a perfect 7-0, and Donovan Mitchell has been impressive to say the least as the leader of this Cavs squad. He put the exclamation point on their early season success with a turnaround game-winner on Saturday night. Can he lead the Cavs to yet another win over the Bucks tonight? Let's take a look at the latest Bucks vs. Cavaliers odds for this Monday rematch.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

The Milwaukee Bucks are reeling from an atrocious start, and it doesn't look like it's going to get better tonight. If Giannis Antetokounmpo is unable to suit up with an abductor issue, the Bucks don't have much of a hope on offense. They are already without Khris Middleton, and all of the pressure will fall on Damian Lillard again. He tried to carry the Bucks last spring without his two co-stars, and it didn't go very well in an early exit against the Pacers.

The Cavs also play strong defense, allowing just 108 points per game. That's good for sixth-best in the NBA, and through seven games, they look like they'll continue that defensive trend. Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen are beasts down low, and they will dominate the glass against an undersized Bucks team that could be missing Giannis. Both teams reside in the middle of the pack as far as pace of play, averaging about 103 possessions each. They don't play with extreme speed like the Pacers and others, which will keep this game even-keeled.

Without the offensive efficiency provided by Giannis, we're going to side with the under in this matchup tonight. There was an option to roll with the Cavs at -7, but that's a lofty spread against an experienced team, and they are due to spoil their undefeated record at any point. The Bucks played them very close on Saturday night, and they should also find enough defense to keep this one close after familiarizing themselves with the opponent. Only 31% of bets are on the under here, but 65% of the total handle is backing a low-scoring game, largely due to injury concerns and the rematch factor. We are going to ride with the total and expect a lack of offense from the Bucks to keep this game under 227.5 total points.
