Bucks vs. Heat Predictions
Despite losing Game 1 by double-digits, the Bucks step in as 9-point favorites in Game 2. The oddsmakers believe Milwaukee will bounce back in a big way, and the Bucks should bring plenty of energy while trying to even the series.
However, it doesn’t feel like there is much value in the spread of 9 points. Instead, let’s look toward the total for our top Bucks vs. Heat prediction.
Game 1 flew over the total with Miami winning 130-117. Because of that, Milwaukee has gone over the total in four of its last five games. The Heat have gone over the total in six straight.
Giannis Antetokounmpo left Game 1 with a back injury after playing only 11 minutes. There’s optimism that he’ll play in Game 2, and the current spread suggests that Milwaukee should have its superstar for Wednesday’s game. That’s certainly a boon to the over.
