Milwaukee Bucks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Best Bet

Jarrett Allen has scored in double digits in eight of his last 10 games.

However, one of those games was against Milwaukee when he scored eight points in the first meeting. Dating back to last season, Allen has scored 14 points or fewer in each of the last four meetings.

As Mobley continues to ascend, Allen's minutes have dwindled, averaging 28 per game last season and 26 per game this season.

He could play even less with Antetokounmpo on the other side, as opposing big men are always at risk of foul trouble when going against him.

Additionally, with Myles Turner now a Buck, Kenny Atkinson may go with a smaller lineup to guard him on the perimeter.

Despite the presence of Allen and Mobley in the paint for Cleveland, Antetokounmpo has scored 30 points in six of the last seven meetings.

He has also reached that plateau in nine of 12 games this season. Being the competitor that he is, Antetokounmpo may also be upset about the team's performance, despite his 32 points.

Off the bench, Lonzo Ball is averaging 5.4 assists per game.

He has had at least four in nine of 11 games this season, and tonight his assists may cap this parlay.

Bucks vs Cavaliers Parlay Picks:

• Giannis Antetokounmpo 30+ Points
• Jarrett Allen Under 14.5 Points
• Lonzo Ball 4+ Assists

Parlay Odds: +285 via DraftKings Sportsbook
