MIT Simulator - NBA Tuesday Bucks vs Cavaliers Winner
MIT Simulator Score - Cleveland 104.51, Milwaukee 102.12 - Projected Total Points: 206.63 - Current O/U: 218 - Variance to O/U: 11.37 - MIT Simulator shows Edge Factor of 11.37 points. Value is nearly a dozen points. Projected box-score shows Cavaliers and Bucks combining for 20 three pointers, 56 two pointers, 35 free throws. Key factors noted: The Cavaliers are one of the hottest teams in the league right now but defense is under-rated in the eyes of the public. The fact is that the Cavs have held 8 of their last 13 opponents to 100 points or less. The Bucks have been struggling but will be up for the chance to host the Cavs and knock off the first place team in their division. Cleveland, when on a winning streak of 3 or more consecutive wins, have seen the O/U go 4-9 this season. The Bucks have allowed 115 points in 3 straight games but, prior to this, Milwaukee had held 11 of their last 15 opponents to 104 or less. This is why it is not surprising that the Simulator is forecasting this one to land right around a 104-102 type game. Excellent value here as both teams will turn up the heat on defense in a divisional battle like this. Projected box-score made shots (as detailed above) equates to 207 points per MIT Simulator.
