Miami Heat vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
The Heat have Herro back in the mix, and they’ve won 4 of their last 5 games. Are the Heat back? I need to see more. The Heat has been hit or miss all season, and I’m just not a believer they’ve figured things out yet. The Bucks have quietly been winning games and should be up for this one at home. The underdog has covered 4 of the last 6 games between the Heat and Bucks, which has become a bit of a rivalry in recent years. It wouldn’t shock me if the Heat lose this game outright, as they throw in a stinker right once you start to believe. Give me the points.
