The Cleveland Cavaliers may not look like a very competitive team at 5-18 on the season, but they have played hard and made more than a good showing vs. some good teams. The Cavs own four of their five wins against teams over .500 that continue to treat them as a pushovers and get surprised. The Bucks are 11-9, so they will get a shot at another one here. Milwaukee had trouble putting Cleveland away at home with just a 3-point win in their last meeting. The Cavs will have some confidence here at home that they can compete, and have the revenge motive as well. Despite three straight in the win column, the Bucks are just 5-7 in their last 12 games, and have had trouble duplicating a strong effort as they are 1-10 ATS following a double-digit win. Take the Cavs.
