Miami Heat vs. Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
Miami is still a long way away from closing out this outstanding Bucks team, but a win tonight would go a long way. One of the main reasons that Miami is holding onto a 2-1 lead is due to the absence of Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. Giannis was injured in Game 1, and he did not play in Games 2 or 3. Milwaukee was able to win Game 2 in his absence, but they were dominated from start to finish in Game 3.
Giannis is listed as questionable tonight, and it feels like he will do everything he can to get on the floor for this must-win game. Injuries have affected the Miami Heat as well in this series. Heat guard Tyler Herro injured his hand and will miss the rest of the season, and last game Victor Oladipo sustained a serious knee injury. These are significant injuries for Miami, especially if they are able to advance in this series.
The star of the playoffs so far for them has been Jimmy Butler. Playoff Jimmy has been in full effect as he poured in a game-high thirty points in the win on Saturday night. Milwaukee enters play tonight as a six-point road favorite.
I am going to put my money on the Miami Heat team total under tonight. Now I know what a lot of you are thinking, Miami has averaged 124.3 points per game this series. Why would we take their under tonight? My answer would be simple they are due for some serious shooting regression.
Miami is not a team known for its offense, but Milwaukee has looked disastrous on the defensive side of the ball. I expect them to lock in tonight and bring a lot more intensity on the defensive side of the basketball in a must-win game. Lastly, there is a good chance that Giannis will play in this game tonight, and we know how good of a defensive player Giannis is and the difference that he will make. Let’s keep things rolling tonight!
