Cavs vs. Bucks: Preview, Odds, Injury Report, TV

Cleveland, Ohio-Cavs (53-10) Travel to Milwaukee to meet Bucks (36-26) at the Fiserv Forum for the last time this season. Tipoff is set to at 1 p.m. 20 Eastern on ESPN.

With a 13-match victory in tow, Cavs has been an offensive Juggernaut, which was on average a blistering 126.1 points per year. Battle during the stretch. Only two teams in the NBA history-1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics 1959-60-have put such songs over a single-season-winning line with a single season, and both continued to win the title. Cleveland is in Elite Company.

But recently, victories are not easy.

Cavs has found itself starting, played down to the competition and letting the teams hang deep into the fourth quarter. But when it means most they have delivered.

Their 21-6 record in coupling games is the best in the NBA, which proves that they have star power and Poise to rise when the pressure is highest.

The X-Factor? De’andre Hunter. Since acquiring him within the trade deadline, Cavs is 11-0 and adds another layer of defensive versatility and scored stans to their already potent lineup.

Bucks goes a tough loss to Orlando Magic on Saturday, but they are a team that can go toe to toe with any team. They have won eight of their last 10 games, and despite some turbulence in the early season, you look due to a deep end game.

If the season ended today, this could be another round of matchup, and Sunday’s clash acts as a compelling preview of what could come in May.

This marks the fourth and last meeting between these two teams this season. The first two competitions ended with exciting, game-winning shots of Cavs, while the third-back in December-Var an blowout for Cavs.

Now the scene is set to another chapter with both troops with new pieces. Hunter gets his first taste of bucks in the wine and the gold, while the Bucks counter with Kyle Kuzma, acquired at the time limit to strengthen their championship aspirations.

This is a struggle for heavy weights, with superstar talent on both sides and supportive throws designed to raise them. Whether it’s Donovan Mitchell’s explosive score, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s merciless downhill or the chess match between coaching staff, any possession will be important.

The most important thing is that Bucks will push Cavs to their best. If Cavs does not clean up the slow starts and lapses in focus, they could find themselves in another tight battle down the stretch.
