With the scoring derby in the eastern part of the NBA, we begin our wandering in the courts of the best basketball league in the world, the Cavaliers against the Bucks in the match that opens the program for tonight.
The Cavs continue their excellent course, they also defeated the Knicks with 95-93 at home. With the good defense making its appearance once again, the team of Kiveland made a good difference which they lost towards the end and they had a heart attack. In the absence of the important center Jarrett Allen, Kevin Love had to play more and he did just fine, helping Garland and Mumble. The Cavaliers tall man who flirts with the double-double in every match is doubtful for today, while forward Markanen will definitely be missing.
The Bucks are in dire need of victories and are immediately found, as the competition in the East is huge and every victory will count for the final placement. So victories like the last one against the Kings should probably be taken for granted, although such a concept rarely exists in the NBA. Giannis was missing in this, the rest did their job and today the "big 3" of the champions is expected to be lined up in full. Allen and Matthews will be missing, key members of coach Budenholzer's rotation, who can still find some solutions in other players on the roster.
We expect a strong match, it seems difficult for a walk to occur, although the Bucks seem - given the absences of the hosts - to be closer to victory. Giannis is relaxed, he will take a lot of time logically since without an awe-inspiring opponent in the racket I believe that he will need to take a lot of efforts, while if the match is closed, his presence will be necessary. I expect a game at its worst of its best and choose it over 27,5 points for Giannis Antetokounbo at 1,83 of Stoiximan.
