NBA Futures – Central Division: Milwaukee … then Detroit?
For so long as Giannis Antetokounmpo is on the peak of his powers it’s laborious to guess in opposition to Milwaukee at the least profitable the Central Division, if not the Jap Convention.
Final yr, Chicago and Cleveland each completed above .500 and made the playoffs. I’m not positive the place the Bulls are heading this yr, however an enormous commerce has the Cavs in search of extra.
Indiana solely completed a few video games forward of Detroit final season. Detroit is younger but it surely appears like they need to be capable of shut that hole this season, after which some.
Let’s take a look in any respect the Central Division futures and see the place some sensible bets are.
Central Division Futures
Milwaukee Bucks -260
The playoffs might need ended in another way had Khris Middleton been wholesome for Milwaukee. This workforce is working with the identical roster that they had a yr in the past and that ought to make for plenty of success in the course of the common season, and past. That’s really the best concern with the Bucks who need to be the favourite. Simply how a lot are they going to prioritize profitable the division or playoff seeding over well being. They know what they’ve and so they can win with it.
Futures Take: It’s laborious to not just like the Bucks to win the division however simple to not like the value.
Cleveland Cavaliers +350
The Cavs had been good final yr. They had been among the finest defensive groups within the league and positively hit on their high decide, Evan Mobley. With Collin Sexton out a lot of the season, Darius Garland actually got here into his personal, making the All-Star workforce. Then they caught us all off guard by buying and selling for Donovan Mitchell. I just like the aggressiveness and it upgrades the expertise however I do marvel in regards to the chemistry in Cleveland. Garland and Mitchell each want the ball of their palms loads. The transfer may assist extra within the playoffs than in the course of the common season.
Futures Take: Cleveland is a good worth. As a youthful workforce, they’re much less possible than Milwaukee to be burdened by accidents. Good payoff too.
Chicago Bulls +600
The Bulls completed because the sixth seed within the Jap Convention final season, avoiding the play-in match. That was with DeMar DeRozan having his finest season within the NBA. Coming in to this season it’s laborious to see how they enhance on that effort, particularly with Lonzo Ball not trying good to start out the season resulting from harm. DeRozan and Zach LaVine generally is a high-scoring duo however the protection of the Bulls is missing. Ball’s harm makes them much more offensively targeted so some overs are positively anticipated.
Futures Take: The one technique to again the Bulls is that if you recognize they’ll be the healthiest workforce by far. That’s method too laborious to foretell.

RMU Basketball is back on a win streak after wins over Wright State and Green Bay, with the latest coming Friday night by 22 points. But after beating the worst team in the Horizon League, the Colonials are on the road to take on one of the best teams in Milwaukee (13-6, 6-2).
The Panthers are at the end of a three-game homestand, with wins over Green Bay and coming off an impressive 79-64 victory over league contender, Youngstown State. RMU can get over .500 in league play and make a case for being in the top tier itself with a win on Sunday afternoon.
Here are the keys to the game for the road team.
1. Good perimeter defense without fouling
Milwaukee’s strength is in its backcourt offensively, with four double-digit scoring guards. Themus Fulks (15.3 ppg and 4.9 apg) leads the way, while Kentrell Pullian and AJ McKee are also in the mix as go-to options. Plus, Erik Pratt has recently returned, averaging 10.7 ppg off the bench as the team’s 6th Man. They aren’t a good shooting team but they thrive slashing to the basket. So if you’re the Colonials, you have to do not only a good job preventing them getting easy buckets, but also without fouling.
2. Dealing with Jamichael Stillwell on the boards
The Panthers are one of the best rebounding teams in the nation, ranking in the top 10 at just under 42 a game, including 15 offensive rebounds on average. Stillwell, who missed a couple of games before returning the last game, is averaging 13.4 ppg and 11.9 rpg, which is first in the nation. The other elite rebounder in the Horizon League is RMU’s Alvaro Folguerias, who is producing 12.8 ppg and 10.3 rpg. The Colonial big man will need to have a good game to have a chance on the road.
3. Kam Woods having an all-league performance
Is there are chance that Woods can make his way to an all-league team? He’s currently averaging 14.5 ppg and 4.4 apg, with his shooting percentages starting to rise after a few good outings. He’s been good on the road as of late as well, including a 29-point outing at Oakland.
Milwaukee is one of the top teams in the Horizon League, and beating them on the road will be a tough challenge. If Woods doesn’t have a good game, then RMU Basketball isn’t going to win.
