A win by Cleveland coupled with a Brooklyn Nets loss would secure the Cavs the No. 7 seed and home-court advantage in the play-in tournament.
However, if the Cavs lose, they risk falling to No. 9 or No. 10 in the East, which would leave them at a major disadvantage entering the play-in.
Fortunately for the Cavs, Milwaukee will be undermanned on Sunday, as it will not be playing some of its usual starters, including Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton.
