The Cavaliers have allowed 12.8 offensive rebounds per game through their first 5 games. Milwaukee has collected 14.4, with Kel'el Ware grabbing 5 in each of his last 3 appearances.
Ware has done that work off the bench. The Bucks scored 24 second-chance points against Indiana on Monday and 19 against Houston on Wednesday.
Bucks +9.5 appeals because Milwaukee has a second unit that can score after misses and from outside. AJ Green has made 12 of 25 threes through the first 5 games.
Milwaukee also gets two days off after Wednesday's home game. Cleveland played Wednesday and Thursday, then travels from Atlanta to Milwaukee.
