A very interesting game is going to happen in Cleveland where the local Cavaliers are going to host Milwaukee Bucks. After 32 games played, the Cavs have 21 wins and 11 losses which gives them the 3rd spot in the Eastern Conference while Milwaukee is the best team in the conference with 22 wins in 30 games. In this matchup, I'm predicting the Cavaliers to win.

The Cavaliers have won 4 games in a row and 3 of them have been at home. Cleveland is the best home team in the league with 15 wins and 2 losses. Per advanced stats, Cleveland has the 14th-best offense (115.3), the 2nd-best defense (105) and the 2nd-best net rating (10.3). The first loss for the Cavs at home was when Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen weren't playing and the next one was against Sacramento when the Cavs blew 8 point lead in the last minutes.

The Bucks have won the last 2 games and they have the 3rd-best away record in the league with 8 wins and 5 losses. At the same time, advanced stats show something different. Away from home, Milwaukee has the worst offense (104.5), the best defense (107.5) but the net rating is only the 14th-best (-3). The Bucks have struggled in games where they are an away underdog as in 4 games Milwaukee has only 2 wins.

Both teams have met already this season twice and Milwaukee won the first two matchups in front of their fans. Now the situation is different as the game will be played in Cleveland. So far this season the Bucks have played against 4 teams that have the TOP10 best net rating at home. They beat the 76ers in Philly by 2 points and then lost to them by 10. In Memphis, the Bucks were blown out, in Dallas they won by a point and won in New Orleans by 9. We can see that Milwaukee struggles against good teams and only the last win against the Pelicans can be labeled as good.

Cleveland is a different breed at home, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley are a deadly duo and they should beat the Bucks. Khris Middleton won't play for Milwaukee while only Lamar Stevens is doubtful for the Cavaliers.

一场非常有趣的比赛将在克利夫兰举行，当地的骑士队将主场迎战密尔沃基雄鹿队。经过32场比赛，骑士队取得了21胜11负的战绩，排名东部第三，而雄鹿队在30场比赛中取得了22胜，是东部最好的球队。在这场比赛中，我预测骑士队会赢。

骑士队已经连续赢了4场比赛，其中3场是在主场。骑士队是联盟中最好的主场球队，15胜2负。根据高级数据，骑士拥有第14好的进攻(115.3)，第2好的防守(105)和第2好的净效率(10.3)。骑士在主场的第一场失利是多诺万·米切尔和贾勒特·阿伦缺阵，第二场是在对国王的比赛中，骑士在最后几分钟失去了8分的领先优势。

雄鹿队在过去的两场比赛中取得了胜利，他们以8胜5负的客场战绩排名联盟第三。与此同时，高级统计数据显示了一些不同的东西。在客场，雄鹿的进攻最差(104.5分)，防守最好(107.5分)，但净得分仅为-3，排在第14位。雄鹿在客场处于劣势的比赛中表现不佳，在4场比赛中雄鹿只赢了2场。

这两支球队本赛季已经相遇两次，雄鹿队在球迷面前赢得了前两场比赛。现在情况不同了，因为比赛将在克利夫兰进行。本赛季到目前为止，雄鹿队已经对阵了4支主场净效率排名前十的球队。他们在费城以2分的优势击败了76人队，然后又以10分的劣势输给了76人队。在孟菲斯，雄鹿被击败，在达拉斯他们赢了一分，在新奥尔良赢了9分。我们可以看到密尔沃基在与强队的较量中挣扎，只有最后一场对鹈鹕的胜利才能被称为强队。

骑士在主场是不同的品种，贾勒特·阿伦和埃文·莫布里是一对致命的组合，他们应该能击败雄鹿。米德尔顿将不会为密尔沃基效力，而只有拉马尔·史蒂文斯是否会为骑士效力尚存疑问。
