The Bucks head to Cleveland on the back of a 3-0 homestand and they’ll be eager to improve on their recent road struggles. They’ve lost their last 3 away from Milwaukee but should get Giannis Antetokounmpo back from injury. He missed the win over the Kings last time out with a knee issue and he’s currently a game-time decision to play against the Cavs. If he can’t suit up, the offence will run through Middleton and Holiday. Meanwhile, Grayson Allen is out with suspension and the likes of DiVincenzo\/Connaughton should get extra playing time as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n Cleveland continued their good form with a 95-93 win over the Knicks on Tuesday and they’ve now won 7 of their last 8 games. But they could be missing Jarrett Allen again with illness after he missed the clash with New York. If he can’t play again, Kevin Love will get a nice usage boost on offence. Markkanen has been ruled out for this matchup with an ankle injury and the likes of Wade\/Stevens should enjoy more playing time.<\/span><\/p>\n A low scoring affair does look on the cards considering the trend between these two teams. In Cleveland, the Under has saluted in the last 5 meetings and the Cavs are 7-3 against the Under in their last 10 games.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Cavs are 9-2 in their last 11 home games. Milwaukee has won 4 of their last 5 in Cleveland.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Bucks have the wood over the Cavs with 8 wins in the last 10 meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet<\/b><\/p>\n Under 216.5 = $1.94<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Denver are coming off back to back wins over the Pistons but they’ll enjoy a more challenging matchup against the Nets, especially Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets centre has scored 25+ points in his last 5 games and collected 21 boards against the Pistons on Wednesday. Brooklyn are fairly undersized so Jokic should continue to dominate the stat-sheet on Thursday. In terms of injuries, they only have Will Barton’s hamstring to worry about after he missed their last game and will be questionable for this matchup.<\/span><\/p>\n After back to back defeats, the Nets will look to get back on track on Thursday against the Nuggets. Brooklyn will be on a back to back after their offence struggled against the Lakers on Wednesday in the 106-96 defeat. They’ll be without Kyrie Irving for this home game but he’ll be expected back for the Nets upcoming 5 game road trip against the Western Conference. Without Durant\/Irving, the offence will continue to revolve around Harden but the Nets will need the experienced pair of Mills\/Alridge to take the pressure off.<\/span><\/p>\n With the Nets missing Durant\/Irving, their offence is weaker and we can see the Nuggets taking advantage. Jokic is also in superb form and he should have no problems with the undermanned Nets defence. Denver has won 5 of their last 7 road games as well so we like their chances of victory.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Nets have struggled at home lately with a 2-7 record. Denver has lost 6 of their last 7 in Brooklyn.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\nDenver Nuggets (25-21) at Brooklyn Nets (29-18)<\/b><\/h3>\n
