An uneven contest is expected in Wisconsin, where a struggling Milwaukee Bucks side host a Cleveland Cavaliers team that are once again among the best in the Eastern Conference. Incidentally, it looks as though Evan Mobley is finally taking off for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Date:<\/strong> 31 October 2026, in the early hours of 1 November in UK time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Time<\/strong>: These are the Bucks vs Cavaliers start times by time zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Venue<\/strong>: Fiserv Forum (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The hosts go into the game with no injury absences, while the Ohio side will be without Jaylon Tyson and Meleek Thomas is a doubt until the last minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite playing away from home, the gulf in quality should be key in favour of the Cavs, who nonetheless arrive on the back of a defeat to the Atlanta Hawks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The era after Giannis Antetokounmpo’s departure has started with plenty of problems for Milwaukee; so much so that they have lost four of their first five games, and are the fourth-worst team in the NBA for points conceded, with 124.2 per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In truth, this is no surprise at all. The team is far from being built to compete with the best, and the arrival of Tyler Herro has not given them a big boost beyond the classic story of the local boy coming home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At least they are avoiding injuries, so they can use all their players and try things out without having to think about replacing one or another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The wins are not coming, but not because Tyler Herro is playing badly. The guard is averaging 23.4 points per night with an excellent 47.3 per cent from three. His offensive work is undeniable, but the team is far from being as solid as they would like.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUnited Kingdom<\/td> 00:00<\/td><\/tr> Dominican Republic, USA (Boston, New York and Miami), Puerto Rico and Venezuela<\/td> 20:00<\/td><\/tr> Mexico (central), USA (Texas and Chicago), El Salvador, Costa Rica and Nicaragua<\/td> 19:00<\/td><\/tr> Mexico (Pacific) and USA (Los Angeles)<\/td> 17:00<\/td><\/tr> Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay<\/td> 21:00<\/td><\/tr> Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Panama<\/td> 20:00<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Bucks vs Cavaliers starting fives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
