Milwaukee Bucks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction - 11/17/2025
Updated July 9, 2026
The Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night in a key Central Division showdown. Both teams enter dealing with personnel issues and will look to overcome them to grab an important win against a division rival. Before tip-off from Cleveland, you can find my Bucks vs Cavaliers prediction below.
Cleveland recently defeated Milwaukee 118–113 at home. In the last 10 head-to-head meetings, the Bucks have won only 2. The Cavaliers have typically controlled the spacing and tempo in these contests. Their size on the interior has been a consistent factor.
Player | Prop |
|---|---|
Giannis Antetokounmpo | Over 7.5 assists |
Evan Mobley | Under 1.5 made threes |
Donovan Mitchell | Over 28.5 points |
Score Projection: Cavaliers 124 – Bucks 116
Win Probability: Cavaliers 70%, Bucks 30%
Both of these teams are banged up, but I think the Cavs have the best chance to overcome their injuries. Cleveland has the size and length to at least disrupt Giannis Antetokounmpo occasionally. And the Bucks don't have an answer for Donovan Mitchell at this point in time. I'll lay the points with the Cavaliers at home here, as they should run away with this one in the second half.
