The Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> will look to bounce back from an awful loss<\/a> to the Dallas Mavericks<\/a> as they take on the Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> on the road.<\/p>\n

The Cavaliers have fallen on hard times. They\u2019ve lost three out of their last five games. That stretch has coincided with Jarrett Allen being out<\/a>. His absence has been sorely missed on both ends of the court as the Cavs haven\u2019t been able to consistently establish a downhill offense, and their defense has lacked rim protection.<\/p>\n

Cleveland will be without Allen once again on Tuesday. We\u2019ll see if they can find a better way to compensate for his absence than they did last game against the Mavs.<\/p>\n
