Cleveland came through for me yesterday and I'm going right back to them tonight. They're a perfect 6-0 and rank top 3 in both offensive and defensive rating. The Cavs are tied with the Celtics for 1st in 1st-quarter net rating. The Cavs' primary starting lineup of Donovan Mitchell/Jarrett Allen/Darius Garland/Dean Wade/Evan Mobley has an excellent 11.7 net rating so far this season. The Bucks' main group of Brook Lopez/Damian Lillard/Giannis Antetokounmpo/Taurean Prince/Gary Trent Jr. has scuffled to a -1.8 net rating. Milwaukee is a disappointing 1-4. They have the 4th-worst net rating in the league. Cleveland played yesterday so fatigue could set in later in this matchup. That shouldn't be an issue in the 1st quarter, though.

Lillard was absolute cheeks last game and scored just 4 points against the Memphis Grizzlies. However, this is because they made a concerted effort to cover him and apply pressure for 94 feet. Cleveland does not have the personnel to do this and wouldn’t expend the resources of Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland to do so either. The volume is clearly still there and even in the 4 point game he still took 12 shots. But outside of that game, Dame was crushing this season. He had scored 30, 28, 21, and 33 points in the prior four games. Here, he’s played very well against the Cavs. He’s scored 31, 28, and 22 against them when playing alongside of Giannis. An underrated swing this season is that the Cavaliers are playing at the eigth-fastest Pace in the league, a significant uptick from the seventh-slowest last season. There will be more opportunities in this season’s matchup. I have Lillard at about 26 points, so will gladly take the base line and sprinkle the alt over as well.
