Bucks vs Heat Betting Pick

This game will be played at 7:30 PM ET at FTX Arena on Wednesday, December 8, 2021.

Why Bet The Bucks:

It looks like the Heat are set to be without Jimmy Butler again in this game to go along with the prolonged absence of Bam Adebayo. While laying points on the road in the NBA isn’t always an easy pill to swallow, it is better to lay a couple of possessions with Giannis and the Bucks than to take a Heat team missing its two best players just because of where this game is being played.

Miami just isn’t a good matchup for the Bucks, as evidenced by their recent history against one another. Milwaukee has won five of the last six games these two teams have played, dating back to the last postseason. With all of the improvements to Giannis’ game, Miami just doesn’t have an answer for him as well as the rest of the Bucks’ weapons.

During Milwaukee’s recent run of 10 wins in 11 games, the Bucks have won by more than six points nine times. The one time they failed to win by multiple possessions came against the Charlotte Hornets during this stretch, and they will continue to win convincingly against the banged up Heat.

Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks are on fire of late, winning two straight games and 10 of their last 11. With their big three of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday all being back on the floor, the Bucks have looked a lot like the team that cruised to last year’s NBA championship. Against a familiar foe in the Miami Heat, Milwaukee will look to continue their run of dominance that has put them in third in the Eastern Conference standings.

Milwaukee is one of just three teams averaging 110 or more points per game in the Eastern Conference this season. Giannis has looked as unguardable as ever lately, but role players like Grayson Allen have taken full advantage of the opportunities he creates for others. Against a tough Miami Heat team, they will need to continue to do so if they want to pick up an 11th win in 12 games.

Miami Heat

The Miami Heat are in fourth place in the Eastern Conference, but injuries have had a negative impact on their season recently. Miami has lost two straight games and four of their last five contests, with the Heat coming off of a loss to the Grizzlies their last time out. Memphis was without Ja Morant for that game, making that a troubling loss for the Heat, who aren’t without their own injury troubles right now.

Jimmy Butler had just returned from injury for the Heat in that game against Memphis, but had to leave the game after aggravating his tailbone ailment. Without Butler and Bam Adebayo, the Heat are likely to struggle in the near future, barring some spectacular perimeter shooting from the likes of Kyle Lowry and Duncan Robinson.
