Milwaukee heads to Cleveland looking to settle the score after a narrow loss in their first meeting, entering this matchup worn down by recent back-to-backs but buoyed by a much-needed break in the schedule. The Bucks remain unpredictable beyond their stars, with key rotation players still searching for rhythm, while Cleveland arrives in uneven form after a shaky stretch marked by inconsistency and heavy reliance on Donovan Mitchell.
Both teams are banged up, both are searching for stability, and both could use a statement win. Keep an eye on Ryan Rollins, who impressed in the last matchup and may again play a key role as Milwaukee tries to grab control of the season series.
