Bucks vs. Heat Prediction

The Miami Heat are seemingly cursed with injuries this season. Half the team are either on the bench or in danger of needing to be ahead of tonight's game. Jimmy Butler is the team MVP right now, essentially carrying the team to victory against the Thunder recently with his expcetional offensive output.

The Bucks, meanwhile, have been on fire for much of the season and are comparatively very healthy. In both scoring and rebounding, the Milwaukee outfit are elite at the moment. For an exhausted team like the Heat, defending against the likes of Giannis Antetokounmpo is going to be a nightmare. Even with the home-court advantage, the Heat could be looking at a rough loss tonight.

Prediction: Bucks +2.5 (-110)
