Green under 2.5 3-point shots made – 13/20 with bet365Sam Merrill 10+ points – 13/20 with Paddy PowerThe Cavaliers have won three of their last five games, including victories over teams such as the Grizzlies, Miami Heat, and Chicago Bulls. The Cavaliers rank inside the top five in blocks per game (5.9) and total 3-point shots made (224). They also rank seventh in the league in points per game at 121.1. Heading into this game, though, they’re still with Jaylon Tyson and Darius Garland. As for the Bucks, they’ve been going back and forth with wins and losses. This month alone, they’re 4-5 and coming off a loss. They haven’t won multiple games in a row since Oct. 28 and 30. The headline injury for them heading into this game is Giannis Antetokounmpo. He’s listed as probable with a knee injury, but based on that injury designation, he should suit up and play. The team will, however, be without Kevin Porter Jr. and Taurean Prince. Still, the Bucks rank inside the top four in field goal percentage (50.2%), 3-pointers made (214), and 3-point percentage (41.1%). Will the Cavaliers continue to rack up wins? Will the Bucks pick up a win to follow their trend of win, loss, win, loss, etc.? Learn more below.

Milwaukee hasn’t been playing great defense either, allowing teams to shoot 56.9% on 2-point shots (8th) and 41.1% on 3-point shots (2nd). Additionally, over their last three games, the Bucks have seen opponents tshoot 45.6% from beyond the arc, which is the highest over that stretch. The Cavaliers have demonstrated that they can win and score points without their two injured players, while the Bucks continue to alternate wins and losses, unable to gain any momentum.I predict the Cavaliers win and cover -7 points. Cavaliers vs Bucks betting tipsFind the latest odds for Cleveland Cavaliers vs Milwaukee Bucks courtesy of BetMGM. Odds are subject to change.SpreadOddsCleveland Cavaliers -723/25Milwaukee Bucks +710/11Total pointsOddsOver 235.59/10Under 235.510/11Given the Bucks’ up-and-down nature to start the season, their defence lately, and the Cavaliers’ shooting prowess, this spread makes sense. To boot, the Cavaliers are at home. Yes, both teams are dealing with injuries, but the Cavaliers’ leading injured player, Garland, has been out for almost the entire season.Donovan Mitchell 4+ 3-point shots madeThis season, Mitchell is averaging four 3-point shots made per game and is shooting 38.1% from beyond the arc. Now, he’ll take on a Bucks team that’s allowing teams to shoot 41.1% from there over the course of the season and 45.6% over their last three games. Considering he’s shooting below the percentage the Bucks are allowing and still has made this mark, I’ll take a chance on him to accomplish it yet again. Mitchell has made four 3-point shots or more in three of his last five games. Back Donovan Mitchell to have 4 3-point shots made or more against the Bucks at 4/6 odds at BetMGM A.J. Green under 2.5 3-point shots madeGreen is averaging three 3-point shots made per game and 6.4 attempts. While he’s shooting 47.2% from beyond the arc, he’ll take on a Cavaliers defense that’s allowing teams to shoot 34.7% from beyond the arc. Over their last three games, that percentage has dropped to just 28.9%, the lowest in the league. Green has made two 3-point shots or fewer in three of his last five games, and considering the Cavaliers’ defense as of late, I’ll take the under. Bet on A.J. Green to have fewer than 2.5 3-point shots made against the Cavaliers at 13/20 odds at bet365 Sam Merrill 10+ PointsWith Garland and Tyson out, Merrill will continue to see playing time. He’s played 27 minutes or more in four of their last five games. He’s also had 10 points or more in three of his previous five games. Merrill averages 8.2 3-point shots per game, and again, the Bucks’ defense against these shots has been terrible lately. Given his uptick in playing time and the Bucks’ 3-point defense, Merrill should hit this point total. Back Sam Merrill to have 10+ points against the Bucks at 13/20 odds at Paddy Power Cavaliers vs Bucks injury reportBelow are the key injuries to report ahead of this early Tuesday morning contest.Cleveland CavaliersOut: Darius Garland (guard) – toe; Jaylon Tyson (guard) – concussion; Max Strus (guard) – footQuestionable: N/ADoubtful: N/AMilwaukee BucksOut: Taurean Prince (forward) – neck; Kevin Porter Jr. (guard) – kneeQuestionable: N/ADoubtful: N/AProbable: Giannis Antetokounmpo (forward) – knee Cavaliers vs Bucks game infoDate: Tuesday 18th NovemberTime: 12:00am GMTVenue: Rocket Arena, Cleveland, OhioWhere to watch: Sky Sports+About the authorRichard JanvrinRichard Janvrin brings nearly a decade of experience covering sports, sports betting, and everything iGaming.
