Who: Cleveland Cavaliers (1-1) vs Milwaukee Bucks (2-0)
Where: Rocket Arena - Cleveland, OH
When: Sunday, Oct. 25 at 6:00pm EST
TV: FanDuel Sports Network Ohio, FanDuel Sports Network App, NBA League Pass
The Bucks are in a weird place as a franchise. They aren’t expected to be contenders this season due to the talent drain they’ve experienced over the last several years. The supporting cast is less than ideal around Giannis Antetokounmpo. That said, Giannis can still find a way to pull out wins all on his own. He’s done that so far in his first two games.
Antetokounmpo has been on a tear. He had 31 points, 20 rebounds, and seven assists to get past the Toronto Raptors on Friday. He opened the season with 37 points, 14 rebounds, and five helpers against the Washington Wizards. Those are incredibly impressive performances even if they’re coming against weaker teams.
The Cavs’ defense has struggled early on this season. They’ve registered a 115.8 defensive rating, which is good for 20th in the league. You don’t want to read too much into a small sample size, but that isn’t ideal.
Antetokounmpo will provide a good test for the defense. We’ll see how the Cavs handle it.
