Bucks vs Heat Predictions and Picks
Milwaukee is currently 18th in points, 21st in points allowed, and 19th in point differential. During those five games. During this short skid, the Bucks lost each game by at least nine points. Also, at times, Milwaukee is definitely missing Giannis inside presence for rebounds and points in the paint. Lately, Ryan Rollins has been a top performer and is averaging 18.6 points, 5.9 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. The Bucks will try to get to the free throw line more and maybe get some more points off of turnovers.
Miami is currently first in points, 20th in points allowed, and fifth in point differential. The Heat have won five games in a row and are 8-2 in their last 10 games. During that stretch, the offense is averaging 125.1 points per game. This team has a lot of key scorers injured, but Herro will try to have another solid game for Miami. They are still playing well on both sides of the ball and the wins have been a mix of high-scoring games and close low-scoring defensive ones.
Best Bet: Heat Spread
The Bucks offense isn't flowing without Giannis and some other good shooters. The Heat are banged up, but still have solid depth going for them and a good defensive ball. Milwaukee hasn't been in any close games during this losing streak and the Heat have had a mix of double-digit wins and some close victories during this winning streak.
