Milwaukee Bucks and Cleveland Cavaliers head-to-head record
Cleveland has controlled the series, defeating Milwaukee four times in a row after losing the first meeting, according to their last five matchups. Three close wins by two points or less are just one example of how the Cavaliers have continuously outperformed the Bucks. Their most recent victory, 124-101, demonstrated their ability to dominate the game on both sides of the court. Cleveland's balanced assault might give them the advantage once more, with Donovan Mitchell delivering scoring firepower and Evan Mobley controlling the paint. But with Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo at the forefront, Milwaukee is still a threat, and they have an opportunity to end the losing skid if they can improve defensively and make the most of their three-point shooting. A close game is to be expected, although Cleveland appears to have the advantage based on their recent victory over the Bucks.
