East 1st Round – Game 1, Series starts 4/16

 

The NBA Playoffs are set to start this weekend and the Miami Heat will head to Wisconsin to take on the number one seed, the Milwaukee Bucks.

 

The Heat had a rocky start in the play-in round, losing to the Hawks, but managed to clinch a spot in the playoffs by defeating the Bulls on Friday night.

 

Meanwhile, the Bucks clinched the top seed with an impressive 58 wins this season. The game is scheduled to start at 5:30 PM EST.

 

It’s a case of “survive and advance” for the Miami Heat as they return to the playoffs after a hard-fought win over the Bulls on Friday night.

 

Despite trailing by five points with just over three minutes left, Jimmy Butler and Max Strus stepped up to secure the victory for the Heat.

 

Strus was particularly impressive, hitting seven 3-pointers and scoring 31 points, while Butler contributed to all aspects of the game with five rebounds, three assists, two steals, and 31 points.

 

Jimmy Butler led Miami with an average of over 22 points per game in the four games, while Bam Adebayo contributed 19.5 points per game.

 

Miami scored over 108 ppg and shot just under 45% from the field in those four games, but struggled from beyond the arc, hitting only 29% of their 3-point attempts.

 

They outrebounded the Bucks by an average of six rebounds per game.

 

Unfortunately, the Heat may have to face this series without the help of point guard Kyle Lowry, who re-injured his knee and did not return to the game against the Bulls.

 

  • Miami is 4-9 SU in their last 13 outings with the Bucks.
  • The Miami Heat is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games on the road.
  • The total went OVER in 5 of Miami’s last 5 games on the road against Milwaukee.

The Milwaukee Bucks are gearing up to chase their second NBA championship in three years when they face off against the Heat on Sunday.

 

Despite numerous injuries to key players throughout the season, the Bucks still managed to win an impressive 58 games.

 

Khris Middleton, who underwent off-season knee surgery, only played in 33 games, while former MVP Giannis Antetonkoumnpo and starting point guard Jrue Holiday also missed significant time due to various ailments, with Antetonkoumnpo sitting out 19 games and Holiday missing 15 games.

They closed out the season with nine wins in 11 games to secure the top seed before resting many of their key players and losing their last two games.

 

Despite waiting for their first-round opponent to be determined, the Bucks didn’t sit idly by.

 

  • The Milwaukee Bucks are 13-6 SU in their last 19 games.
  • The total went OVER in 6 of Milwaukee’s last 9 meetings with Miami.
  • The Bucks are 16-4 SU in their last 20 games at home.

Miami Heat vs Milwaukee Bucks. The NBA pick for this game is the Milwaukee Bucks. Miami PG Kyle Lowry re-injured his left knee and is listed as questionable for this game after exiting Friday’s victory.
