Milwaukee Bucks vs Miami Heat Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Chart for Apr. 5 | NBA 2024-25 season

The Milwaukee Bucks will be looking to complete the season sweep over the Miami Heat when they visit the Kaseya Center on Saturday. The Bucks have won all three of the previous encounters against their Eastern Conference rivals this season, but with the Heat still jostling for play-in positioning, this should be a closely contested game.

Six wins from their last seven means the Heat have officially clinched a play-in berth. Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo have been the standout players over the last few weeks, leading the team on a strong run to close out the season.

Led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks have won two straight to keep the pressure on the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons. Milwaukee is currently sixth in the Eastern Conference standings, and are set to return to the playoffs for a ninth consecutive season.

The Milwaukee Bucks have had to adjust their lineup over the 2024-25 campaign. Due to a series of trades and injuries, 14 different players have started games for the Bucks this season.

Center Brook Lopez and forward Taurean Prince have been regulars in the lineup, starting 75 and 68 games, respectively. Antetokounmpo is next on the list with 63 starts.

Kyle Kuzma, who recently joined the team from the Washington Wizards, has slotted into the small forward role. With Damian Lillard's calf injury, guard Ryan Rollins' minutes have seen a spike and he has started seven of the last eight games for Milwaukee.

Along with Lillard, center Jericho Sims is out of Saturday's game with an injury

Expect to see the Bucks take the court with a starting five that includes Ryan Rollins, Taurean Prince, Kyle Kuzma, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez.

Injuries will be an issue for the Miami Heat going into Saturday's game. Kevin Love, Nikola Jovic and Andrew Wiggins are all sidelined. Haywood Highsmith and Tyler Herro are listed as day-to-day.

The Heat will most likely come out with a starting group consisting of Tyler Herro, Alec Burks, Haywood Highsmith, Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware.
