Premium Pick

The Cleveland Cavaliers thought that when LeBron James was back in the fold, along with acquiring Kevin Love, to compliment a young rising star in Kyrie Irving, they were headed to a Championship. this team has simply not gotten it together yet. Love's numbers are way down from what he did in Minnesota, as he doesn't appear to be a good fit in the offense, and the overall defense has been spotty at best. The loss of Varejao for the season has also left a void in the paint. James missed yesterday's game with a sore knee, and may or may not play here, but if he does, at what effectiveness? Milwaukee has already won as many games as they did all of last season, and are vastly improved. Surprisingly, at .500, they have to be considered a viable playoff team in the East. The Bucks have learned to play on the road where they are 6-0 ATS in their last six. Play the points on the Bucks.
