Milwaukee Bucks vs Miami Heat Preview

The Bucks are bustling

The Bucks will come into this game after a clash against the New Orleans Pelicans. They have been in a terrific rhythm in January, and have done a terrific job of getting in the top four after a terrible 1-6 start. Giannis Antetokounmpo has once again emerged as an MVP candidate whereas Damian Lillard has proved his worth, nailing 3.5 threes a game on almost 40% shooting from deep. Khris Middleton has been efficient since shifting to the bench role and the team is clicking on all cylinders.

The Heat are struggling because of uncertainties

The Heat comes into this game after suffering a 9-point loss against the Trail Blazers. This loss must have stung as the Trail Blazers have a 15-32 record. The Heat has now lost four out of their last five games. Such losing periods are the result of the Jimmy Butler situation. The former franchise face doesn’t want to be with the squad anymore affecting their performances big-time. Tyler Herro has been impressive but doesn’t have ample support around him. If the Heat trade Butler, they may look for a strong two-way Wing, but they might build for the future and settle with draft picks.

Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
