The Milwaukee Bucks will welcome the Miami Heat for their third meeting this NBA season. The Bucks enter this match as fifth seed in the East with a 4.5 game advantage over eighth-placed Heat. Below is our prediction.

Doc Rivers' men defeated the Clippers at home by six points then earned a close 104-101 victory away to the Wizards in the last two matches, improving to a 31-24 record.

Such a small margin win against the lowly Wizards will not be a concern for the Bucks as it was the second game of a back to back.

Giannis Antentokunmpo and Damian Lillard are listed as probable on the latest injury report while Bobby Portis is suspended.

The Heat got back to winning ways last time out with a hard-fought 120-111 victory in OT against the Raptors. Erik Spoelstra’s men arrive for their first game after the All-Star break seeking to snap a four match losing streak.

That was their 26th victory in an inconsistent campaign that has seen them lose 28 times. The Heat, who are 15-16 against fellow East teams, haven’t won back to back games in a month.

Kevin Love is out of this trip due to personal reasons making it the sixth successive match he'll miss. The Heat are yet to win against the Bucks this season, losing both times they met.
