Bucks vs Heat Best Bet: Bucks ML+114

The Bucks enter this matchup as the underdogs, thanks to their rough start to the season. Despite that, there’s no denying that Milwaukee has one of the best rosters in the league, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo. Heading into this matchup, the Bucks look to build on their four-game win streak as Doc Rivers’s squad hopes to continue building confidence to get back in the Eastern Conference race. Although Miami will have the home crowd behind them, the odds are too good not to pick the hotter team to steal a win on the road.

Bucks vs Heat Best Total Bet: Over 222.5

The Bucks and Heat have the talent to put points up quickly. Considering each roster has mismatches on offense, this game will come down to which side can string together crucial stops down the stretch. A final score of 118-112 seems like a realistic outcome.

Bucks Best Player Bet: Damian Lillard to Score 30+ Points +260

Damian Lillard has been one of the best natural scorers in the NBA since entering the league as a rookie in 2012. The star guard has seemingly found his role with the Bucks, and he’s put together an impressive start to the season, averaging 25.2 points, 7.4 assists, and 4.6 rebounds up to this point. Against a Heat roster that doesn’t have a clear perimeter defender who can slow down Lillard and Giannis, among other threats, the 34-year-old could be in for a big night.

Heat Best Player Bet: Jimmy Butler to Record 2+ Steals +165

Jimmy Butler is one of those players in the league that always seems to rise to the occasion and take each matchup personally. Against a Bucks team that the forward seemingly loves battling against, expect him to take on the challenge of defending Milwaukee’s top players. Considering his defensive versatility, seeing the Marquette product end the night with two or more steals wouldn’t be a shock.
