Will Giannis Antetokounmpo Play Tonight? Cleveland Cavaliers vs Milwaukee Bucks: Injury Update, Lineup and Game Prediction

The Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Milwaukee Bucks in an Eastern Conference showdown. Despite the difference in quality, the two teams have had a similar start to the season. The Bucks have looked inconsistent so far, with a 5-4 record this season, having lost many games that they could have easily won.

A prime example is their loss against Boston, where Giannis missed free throws to tie the game and send it to overtime. The arrival of Jrue Holiday from New Orleans in the off-season hasn’t yielded the expected results yet. While Holiday has been performing well, the Bucks have been losing games that they should have won.

The Cavaliers, on the other hand, are performing better than expectations. Collin Sexton has been playing at a superstar level. Recently, he matched Cavaliers’ legend LeBron James as the second player to score 20+ points in their opening seven games. Sexton has been the driving force behind the Cavs good form so far, but even they host a 5-4 record this season.

With that in mind, let us take a look at what fans can expect when the Cavs face the Bucks.

Cleveland Cavaliers – Team News

The Cavaliers continue to miss key players throughout this season. Former All-Star Kevin Love is still out after a calf injury. Darius Garland and Matthew Dellavedova have been ruled out for the game against Milwaukee. Collin Sexton, who has been key to the success of the Cavs this year, is ‘questionable’ to play against the Bucks.

The Cavaliers will have to put out a makeshift team against the Bucks with the number of players injured against the Bucks.
