Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: Nov. 7 at Cleveland Cavaliers

The Milwaukee Bucks will look to snap their losing streak on Tuesday as they head to Ohio to face LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers.

A lot has changed since the Milwaukee Bucks and Cleveland Cavaliers last played at the Bradley Center back on October 20.

At that time, the Cavaliers’ hopes for the season would have been elevated further following a 2-0 start against Conference rivals like the Celtics and the Bucks, while buoyed by MVP-level play from Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks could only be wondering how far their Greek star would take them.

The Cavs have since fallen off significantly, losing a host of games against what was perceived as a particularly friendly schedule, while although Giannis’ play has generally held up, the Bucks have learned they need to do more to support him.

As such, there’s a lot riding on Tuesday’s game, and a win for either team will only serve to pile further pressure on the other.

The Bucks could really do with ending their current three-game losing streak in this one, as a trip to San Antonio follows it later in the week. Even after that, a perceived easier game against the Los Angeles Lakers comes on the second night of a back-to-back following a through the night flight back from Texas.

So, if the Bucks are to get a win on Tuesday, how will they do it? Let’s take a closer look at the keys to victory for both teams, our staff predictions, and more.
