Will Giannis Antetokounmpo Play Tonight? Milwaukee Bucks vs Miami Heat Game 4 – Prediction, Injuries, and Lineups
The Milwaukee Bucks face the Miami Heat in game four of their first-round playoff series.
The Bucks have a chance to sweep the Heat and move into the next round. Furthermore, this series is also a chance to get a measure of revenge over the Heat for the humiliation the Heat dealt them last year.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has looked fantastic for the Bucks while his other teammates like Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton have stepped up.
For the Miami Heat, they are in a dire situation right now. The Heat haven’t been swept in a first-round series since 2007.
Jimmy Buttler has struggled against the Bucks and their stifling defense. However, he did show signs of life in game three.
For the Miami Heat to be able to win against the Bucks, it can’t just be Butler stepping up. Several other stars like Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, and Bam Adebayo have to step in and make a difference.
With that in mind, let us take a look at the Bucks facing off against the Heat.
Milwaukee Bucks vs Miami Heat – Predictions
The Milwaukee Bucks have clearly been the superior team in this series. Barring game one, the Heat haven’t come close to being a threat to the Bucks.
Jimmy Butler has not been anything close to the player he was during last year’s playoffs. But it is the Bucks’ depth that gives them the benefit over the Heat. If Milwaukee come in with anything close to the form they’ve shown recently, they will be able to get the win again.
