National Basketball Association Bucks vs. Cavaliers Picks & Predictions for November 19

In the wake of back-to-back losses to divisional opponents, the Cleveland Cavaliers made it clear that they’d come correct against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night. Khris Middleton had 14 points, Jerryd Bayless added 13 points while Michael Carter-Williams added 12 points but it was all in vain as the Bucks were already behind by 64-46 at halftime. The Cavaliers beat IN at home November 8 for their only divisional victory. The Kings are 0-5 without Cousins this season and 11-38 since he joined the team in 2010.

Kidd added, “For a young team, we’re still a long ways away from the mental side of our game being at the level of the best teams in this league”.

“There are times during the year that you have to take stock and say hey, wait a minute, this needs to be better or this needs to be corrected”. “We’ve got a great leader in LeBron”.

F LeBron James had 27 points, nine rebounds and six assists in the Cavaliers’ 115-100 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Dellavedova’s scoring slump continues, as he only scored 7 points and his first made field goal didn’t occur until 10:35 left in the fourth quarter.

And the Cavaliers did all that with their starting backcourt, of Kyrie Irving and Iman Shumpert, still on the mend;Irving’s stand-in stuck in street clothes and their first-string center trapped in the training room for the entire second half. But the Bucks couldn’t get within five at 84-79 at any point in the second half.

Parker missed Tuesday’s game at Washington due to a sprained right foot but rejoined the team in Cleveland yesterday. Cleveland will look to take advantage of the Bucks and their propensity to foul.

CLEVELAND – If there’s one legitimate gripe worth mentioning through the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 9-3 start, it has been their inconsistency. “When you think you were in the right position or when you think you were playing hard or you think you did the right thing, it will tell you right then and there”. “Hopefully he’s back sooner than later”.

This is a tough loss for the Bucks, it drops them to 5-7 on the season which puts them third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference.

“Andy really gave us a lift”, Blatt said. “Above and beyond all of the overwhelming accolades and greatness he’s displayed throughout his career, it’s pretty easy to team up with a guy like that and it’s also refreshing to come every day and know that you’re about the same things with your best guy”.
