Cleveland Cavaliers What To Watch:

When the Cleveland Cavaliers face the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night, they hope to have their best season-opening start in nearly 50 years.

The Cavaliers have a 6-0 record going into the second leg of their back-to-back series, their best since LeBron James and Cleveland started 6-0 in 2016–17, after defeating the visiting Orlando Magic 120–109 on Friday.

With another victory, the Cavaliers would be one victory away from matching the historic, all-time franchise record of 8-0, which was set in 1976–77 by the team led by Austin Carr and Campy Russell and coached by Bill Fitch.

Under new coach Kenny Atkinson, Cleveland, which was among the NBA's best defensive teams the previous season, has improved its offensive game.

In 2023–24, the Cavaliers scored 130 points or more four times; this season, they have done it three times.

Atkinson's players are shooting 40.8 percent from three-point range and 53.3 percent from the field, which is quite efficient.

Despite both experiencing foul trouble, Cleveland's top scorers against Orlando were guards Darius Garland (25 points in 29 minutes) and Donovan Mitchell (22 points in 22 minutes), while forward Evan Mobley recorded a double-double.

 

Milwaukee Bucks What To Watch:

After losing their last four games, including a 122-99 thumping loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday, the Milwaukee Bucks, who had one more victory than the Cavaliers the previous season, are on the decline.

Milwaukee took a 56-38 beating, misfired 9 of 42 long-range, and—most concerning of all—kept leaking downhill buckets.

River stated that he must get better.

Milwaukee's standout duo of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard had a terrible night. Antetokounmpo scored 37 points on 17 of 22 shooting and pulled down 11 rebounds, continuing his MVP-caliber play.

As he watched his opponent, Ja Morant, rack up a triple-double, he scored four points, making one of twelve of his shots from the field.

In their combined 19 3-point shooting attempts, Lillard, Taurean Prince, and Gary Trent Jr. missed 18 of them.

Since the Bucks still don't have a reliable third-scoring option—a problem made worse by Khris Middleton's absence due to an ankle injury—they will need Lillard to recover from his infrequent disappointment in Memphis.

This season, Antetokounmpo and Lillard are the only Milwaukee players to score more than 16 points.

However, the larger problem still exists at the other end.
