Heat vs Bucks Betting Pick
This game will be played at Fiserv Forum at 8:00 PM ET on Wednesday, March 2, 2022.
Why Bet The Heat:
✅ Miami is one of the hottest teams in the league at the moment. The Heat are rolling on a four-game winning streak and have dropped only one of their previous ten contests at any location. They’ve gone 6-3-1 ATS in that ten-game stretch. Also, Miami is 6-0 straight up and 5-0-1 ATS in its previous six outings away from home. The Heat sit atop of the Eastern Conference, four games ahead of the fourth-seeded Milwaukee Bucks, who have gone 2-4 SU and 1-5 ATS over their previous six games overall.
✅ In his two dates with the Heat in 2021-22, Giannis Antetokounmpo has averaged only 15.0 points on 33.3% shooting from the field. The Heat should know how to deal with a two-time MVP. Bam Adebayo and P.J. Tucker will be all over Giannis, as Miami looks for another strong defensive performance. Over their last ten outings, the Heat have recorded the second-best defensive rating in the NBA, yielding only 103.9 points per 100 possessions.

✅ The Bucks are capable of playing tough defense, too, but they’ll have to cope with quite an unconventional offense in this matchup. The Heat love to share the ball and find an open man. They record 26.6 assists per 100 possessions (5th in the NBA). Miami is one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the league and ranks second in 3-point percentage (37.4%) and fifth in triples made per 100 possessions (13.7).
Miami Heat
The Heat beat Chicago 112-99 as 4.5-point home favorites last Monday to extend their winning streak to four games. Miami dominated the Bulls from start to finish, leading by as many as 24 points, while Tyler Herro led the charge with 20 points, six rebounds, and five assists.
Jimmy Butler made only four of his 13 field-goal attempts against the Bulls, but he also racked up seven boards, four assists, and four steals. Over his past ten appearances, Butler has scored 21.4 points a night on 45.8% shooting from the field. Kyle Lowry (13.4 PPG, 7.9 APG) missed the Bulls game due to personal reasons and should return to the starting lineup Wednesday against the Bucks.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks snapped their two-game skid last Monday. They thrashed off the Charlotte Hornets 130-106 as firm 10.5-point home favorites, and Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way with a line of 26 points, 16 rebounds, six assists, four blocks, and a couple of steals.
Milwaukee went 18-for-45 from beyond the 3-point line against the Hornets. The Bucks also scored 23 fast-break points and posted a whopping 17 offensive rebounds.
