Cleveland Cavaliers @ Milwaukee Bucks

Game Time: 7:00 pm ET

BetMGM Lines

MIL +6.5 (-105), CLE +6.5 (-115)
Game Total 230.5

Key Storylines

Undefeated: The Cavs face the Bucks again after winning a nail-biter two days ago. They are 7-0 and everybody’s contributing to winning – their bench got eight 3s! We’ll have to wait to see if they can keep this up until the Playoffs, but a team boasting Donovan Mitchell and emerging star Evan Mobley should always have a chance.

75 points and a loss: Against the Cavs, Lillard scored 41 and Giannis 34. Despite an extremely hot start, they still lost. They aren’t standing pretty in the standings and need to step up. But when you’re top-heavy and relying on aging superstars, it’s easier said than done.

Stream of the Game

Taurean Prince is safe bet as a points, 3s and some rebounds streamer with a guaranteed role. If Caris LeVert is in, he’s the Usual Suspect. If not, the Cavs have plenty of Keyser Sozes.

Alternatives: Sam Merrill, Dean Wade, Georges Niang (points and 3s), Isaac Okoro (3s, steals)

Golden State Warriors @ Washington Wizards

Game Time: 7:15 pm ET

BetMGM Lines

GSW -9.5 (-110), WAS +9.5 (-110)
Game Total 232.5

Key Storylines

3rd Splash Brother: Buddy Hield can’t miss. He’s making five out of 9.7 attempts from long range per game, giving him a career best 22.2 ppg. The Warriors have a good depth problem when healthy, playing an 11 or 12 man rotation, which is great for them and bad for fantasy. Nevertheless, Hield, Kuminga, Podziemski, Wiggins, Trayce Jackson-Davis are all great players with unique skillsets and they make sense together! GSW keeps winning, even in Curry’s absence.

If you look up Sarr is probably there: Watch out, Warriors rim-runners. The number two pick is blocking 2.8 shots a game and had a 4-block party against the Heat. Between him, Bilal Coulibaly’s breakout and Bub Carrington development as a guard, they’re fun to watch!

Stream of the Game

Kyshawn George can’t be ignored. He has been a consistent source of defensive stats, some rebounds and 3s, when they go in (at least he’s shooting them!)

Alternatives: Corey Kispert (points, 3s) Bub Carrington (assists, rebounds, points), Moses Moody (points, 3s), Lindy Waters III (3s), Kevon Looney (rebounds)

Los Angeles Lakers @ Detroit Pistons
