Betting on the Miami Heat
- Regular Season Record: 32-27
The Heat’s season has been marked by constant ups and downs caused by physical problems suffered by their key players, and they arrive to this game looking to end a two-game losing streak that has pushed them out of the playoff spots and into seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings, 0.5 games away from their goal.
Florida’s Achilles heel this campaign has been its offense, which is the worst in the league, with an average of just 108.3 points scored per game. The team also records a 45.2 % shooting percentage from the field, which has wasted the work it has done on defense. Indeed, in defense, the team is the second most effective team in the NBA, with 108.3 points allowed per game.
It was precisely these offensive shortcomings that sentenced the Heat in their most recent game against the Brooklyn Nets, where they lost by a score of 105-116 and in which Bam Adebayo was the top scorer with 24 points.
Betting on the Milwaukee Bucks
- Regular Season Record: 41-17
Things have been very different for the Bucks in recent months. The team has currently found itself in second place in the West and only half a game away from the Boston Celtics, which are at the top. The Bucks own the second-best record in the league, which they have achieved thanks to an astonishing streak of 12 victories in a row.
The Bucks will now try to collect their thirteenth win in a row, after defeating the Chicago Bulls away from home.In that clash, Giannis Antetokounmpo left after playing only 9:20 minutes, but Brook Lopez’s 33 points were enough to win by a score of 112-100.
Indeed, Antetokounmpo is still not confirmed for this game due to physical discomfort, which would be an important loss for the Bucks considering he is the team’s offensive leader with 31.8 points, 5.4 assists and 12.2 rebounds per game. However, with the help of its home crowd, the team may be able to deal with that absence. Also, it has a marvelous 24-5 home record so far this campaign.
JefeBet Prediction
The Heat’s offensive problems have been more than evident this campaign, and those problems could become worse if Tyler Herro’s absence is confirmed for this game and considering that they will be facing a Bucks team that knows how to do things decently on defense, averaging 111.6 points allowed per game.
Moreover, the Heat will also have their hands full trying to stop an offense that averages 118.9 points scored at home. Even without Antetokounmpo, the Bucks team should give the Heat team plenty of headaches, with players like Lopez and Jrue Holiday, who have proven to be playing at a very good level.
The Bucks have covered the Spread in five of their last six games so, considering they will be playing at home and the current level of their opponent, we expect them to set the pace of this game.
Prediction: Milwaukee Bucks Spread.
