Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Cavs are red-hot at the moment and are looking to extend an excellent eight-match winning run tonight. The Celtics are unsurprisingly favoured at home in this match, but the line looks a little too thick for our liking, with the Heat playing superb defense of late. We’re expecting a very close encounter here and are backing the Cavs to cover in this one. Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction: Cleveland Cavaliers +7.0.
