<p><span>Monta Ellis</span> has scored 13 points and <span>Larry Sanders</span> added 10 as the <a href="https://www.brewhoop.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Milwaukee Bucks</a> lead the <a href="https://www.fearthesword.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Cleveland Cavaliers</a> 52-43 at halftime of Friday's game at Quicken Loans Arena.</p>
<p>Cleveland started slowly, trailing Milwaukee 25-17 after the first, but their offense picked up in the second quarter. The Cavs scored 26 points in the second.</p>
<p>Point guard <span>Kyrie Irving</span>, in his third game back since returning from injury, has scored 14 points in the first half, but he's made just 4 for 12 shots. Irving also took a hard fall early in the game, landing on his head on a drive to the basket, but he stayed in the game and made both free throws after the fall.</p>
<p><span>Alonzo Gee</span> has scored seven points on 3-for-3 shooting, but the rest of the Cleveland starters have struggled. The other four are shooting a combined 6-for-25, and the Cavs are shooting just 35 percent for the game so far.</p>

<p>After Slow second half, Cav's look to Rebound at Home </p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fearthesword.com/">Cavaliers</a> are hoping that history will repeat itself tonight at the Q as they welcome the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.brewhoop.com/">Milwaukee Bucks</a>. Cleveland has won 14 of their last 18 games against the Bucks at Quicken Loans Arena.</p>
<p>Though, last time the two teams faced off, Milwaukee point guard <span>Brandon Jennings</span> hit a buzzer beating three point shot to douse the Cavaliers 105-102. The Cavs will turn to red hot guard <span>C.J. Miles</span> tonight, who will get his third consecutive start at guard. Miles has scored 28 points in back to games, and has scored in double figures in each of the past five games on 51.7% shooting.</p>
<p>Miles fills in for the injured rookie Dion Waters, who has been out since December third with a sore ankle. Coach <span>Byron Scott</span> told reporters that Waiters had his clearance to play from the doctors, but will not see action tonight. "I still need to see him go through a full day of practice," said Scott. "I want to see him play five on five, go up and down the court, attacking the basket, being defended. Only then will I be more satisfied."</p>
<p>Scott's philosophy is that an injured player never looses a starting spot due to injury, but Waiters still has a while to go. The team is targeting Tuesday night vs Toronto for Waiters' return to the floor.</p>
