The Coach's EARLY BIRD SPECIAL *$25!*
(NBA) Cleveland vs. Milwaukee,
Point Spread: 8.00 | -105.00 Milwaukee (Home)
Result: Loss
The Cleveland Cavaliers come into Milwaukee on Sunday as big road favorites, and they face a Bucks team that has been solid at home, and ranks in the Top 10 in the league in defense. The Bucks are allowing opponents to average just 97.3 points per game, giving them the 8th best opponent's scoring average in the NBA. Milwaukee has lost five straight, but four of those came on the road. I like their chances of hanging with the Cavs at home tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - These teams have split the last six meetings, with each team winning three games. The Bucks though covered the spread in five of those six games.

2. LeBron James - He scored just 16 points in a win over Brooklyn on Wednesday, and then was questionable to play at home against Indiana on Friday due to illness. He did start and scored 29 points, but his averages are down over five game span, and fatigue could be a factor on the road tonight.

3. X-Factor - The Bucks have won eight of their last nine home games versus Cleveland, granted LeBron didn't play in any of those games.

Selection: This is a play on the Milwaukee Bucks(8*)
