Bucks vs Cavaliers Betting Pick
This game will be played at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse at 3:30 PM ET on Sunday, April 10, 2022.
Why Bet The Bucks:
✅ The Bucks have a huge motive to win this game. On the other side, the Cavaliers are fighting for the No. 7 seed and could even slip to the tenth spot, but the reigning champs have to show they are a better team than Cleveland. Milwaukee doesn’t want to finish behind Boston and leave the Celtics the home-court advantage in their eventual semifinal clash.
✅ Giannis Antetokounmpo will torture the Cavaliers’ frontcourt that misses Jarrett Allen due to a finger injury. The Greek Freak has been unstoppable as of late. Giannis has averaged 31.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 5.7 assists a night over his last six outings while making 59.0% of his field goals. Last Friday, he dropped 30 points on the Pistons in just 28 minutes on the floor.

✅ Given their recent run of form, the Cavaliers will struggle to cope with the Bucks. Cleveland has gone only 2-8 straight up and ATS in its last ten games overall, while the Bucks are 7-3 SU and 6-4 ATS over their previous ten outings at any location. The Cavaliers have allowed 119.8 points per 100 possessions in their last five contests, posting the seventh-worst defensive rating in the NBA.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks extended their winning streak to three games with a 131-101 dismantling of the Detroit Pistons last Friday. The reigning champs completely shut down their opponents who shot only 38.9% from the field and 20.8% from beyond the arc. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way for the Bucks with 30 points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists, while Brook Lopez added 17 points on 7-for-11 shooting from the field.
Milwaukee is one game ahead of the Boston Celtics, who own the tiebreaker over the Bucks thanks to a better record against the Eastern Conference playoff teams. Boston visits Memphis in its regular-season finale.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers have struggled a lot over the last few weeks. Last Friday, the Cavs extended their losing streak to three games with a 118-107 defeat at the Brooklyn Nets. Cleveland got outscored by 16 points in the fourth quarter, blowing a seven-point lead. Darius Garland accounted for 31 points, while Evan Mobley and Lauri Markkanen added 17 points each.
Cleveland is currently sitting at the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference. The Cavs are only one game ahead of the No. 9 Atlanta Hawks and No. 10 Charlotte Hornets.
