Heat at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 114, Heat 109

Moneyline

PASS.

Milwaukee (-320) should come away with the win here, but the Bucks are not worth betting on as such heavy favorites. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN HEAT +7.5 (-110).

Miami has covered the spread in 3 consecutive outings and is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games. The Heat are also the slightly better ATS team this season at 24-28-1, while the Bucks are 21-32-1.

This is a very slight lean as Miami is missing a lot of key players and recent matchups between these squads have been very even ATS.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 227 (-110).

The Under has hit in back-to-back games for Miami and is 7-3 in the Heat's last 10. The Under has also been safer for the Heat this season at 32-21. For Milwaukee, the Under has hit in back-to-back outings and is 8-2 in its last 10.

Miami will be missing a lot of offense due to injuries, which makes the Under hitting even more likely.

This is only a lean because the Over has been slightly safer for Milwaukee this year and has been dominant in recent Miami-Milwaukee matchups.
