Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: Dec 19 vs Cleveland Cavaliers
By Adam McGee
The Milwaukee Bucks will face a tough task as they look to snap their losing streak on Tuesday night when the Cleveland Cavaliers visit the Bradley Center.
With only one loss in 19 games and five straight wins, facing the Cleveland Cavaliers in this kind of form would be an unenviable task for the Milwaukee Bucks at any point in the season.
As the two teams prepare for their third matchup of the year on Tuesday at the Bradley Center, the Bucks will also be desperately hoping to end their current losing streak before it reaches four games.
In a particularly crowded midfield in the Eastern Conference, a tough week for Milwaukee has seen them tumble down the standings of late, in spite of an excellent run of their own in the not so distant past.

After Tuesday’s game, the Bucks won’t play the Cavaliers again until late March and with the season series already at 2-0 in Cleveland’s favor, Milwaukee could really do with a positive result against a divisional rival they could potentially meet down the road in the playoffs.
Jason Terry, Tony Snell and Matthew Dellavedova all practiced on Monday and are showing positive signs in their recovery, so the Bucks will be hoping to have some more healthy bodies available to them come game time. Of course, Sean Kilpatrick could also end up in contention for some time having signed his two-way contract on Monday.
With all of that in mind, let’s take a closer look at the action ahead, and highlight some potential keys to victory for both teams.
