Milwaukee Bucks vs Miami Heat. The NBA pick for this game is the Miami Heat. The Heat won four of their previous five games at home and three of their past four games overall. Although they don’t have a high-scoring offense, they perform well at home, where they average over 109 points a contest while making 46% of their shots. They don’t turn the ball over a lot and are highly active on the offensive boards, which will offer them more opportunities to score. The Bucks’ last four contests were split. They were effective offensively, but on the road, where they average fewer than 108 points a contest while making 43% of their shots, they are less effective. Recently, they have trouble making free throws, making fewer than 70% of them in their last 3 matches. Although they are one of the league’s top rebounding teams and their offensive rebounding will keep them in this game, they were careless with the ball on the road, turning it over more than 15 times per game, which will give the Heat, who average more than 7 steals per game at home, easy scoring chances. The Miami Heat will win to a predicted score of 111-108.
