Analysis: The Bucks have struggled on the road lately, losing their last three away games. Meanwhile, Cleveland has won 6 of their last 7 games including three straight at home. The Cavaliers' strong home offense (47% FG) and paint presence could give Milwaukee trouble, especially if Giannis remains out. Cleveland's league-leading defense should also be a factor.

Prediction: Look for Cleveland to cover the spread at home behind their efficient offense and lockdown defense. The Bucks' road woes and potential absence of Giannis make the Cavs an attractive betting option in what should be a competitive Eastern Conference battle.
