All odds for my Heat vs Bucks picks were taken from Paddy Power and are subject to change at any time.

Miami Heat to win

This is a duel between two teams that have started the season slowly, but they both seem to be getting into form recently, with the Heat winning three of their last four and the Bucks winning four in a row.

That bein said, the Bucks have hosted all four of those games and they've struggled this season away from home, with just one win in seven games. This is the main reason why my first Heat vs Bucks prediction is for the Heat to win this game, along with the fact that the Bucks are still missing Middleton.

Under 222.5 total points

This is a duel between two teams that play solid defence, although neither of them have been among the best in the league. Still, the Heat allow 110.6 points per game, while the Bucks allow 112.9 points per game on average, so this can be a low-scoring game.

Furthermore, neither Miami or Milwaukee have been impressive on the offensive end, which is why under 222.5 total points is the second of my Heat vs Bucks tips for tonight.

Bam Adebayo to record a double-double

The last of my Heat vs Bucks picks is for Bam Adebayo to record a double-double. This seems like a no-brainer considering that Adebayo is nearly averaging a double-double, with 16.5 points per game and 9.6 rebounds per game.

In addition to this, Adebayo has recorded a double-double in four of the last five games and I can see him doing well on the boards against the Bucks too.

Miami Heat preview and latest news

With three wins in their last four games, the Heat have been in solid form lately, but overall, they've been pretty inconsistent this season. Even in their last game they only managed to beat Dallas without Doncic after extra time.

When it comes to team news, Terry Rozier and Dru Smith are questionable for this game.

The Heat enter this match with a 7-7 record.

Heat starting lineup: Herro, Butler, Robinson, Highsmith, Adebayo

Milwaukee Bucks preview and latest news

The Bucks have seemingly found their groove after a rough start and have now won four games in a row. That being said, they didn't really have the toughest schedule in those four games and they've played all of them at home, so it remains to be seen how they'll fare against a team like Miami away from home.

Meanwhile, the Bucks are still without Khris Middleton, while AJ Johnson, Taurean Prince, MarJon Beauchamp, and even Giannis Antetokounmpo are listed as game-time decisions, although I certainly expect Giannis to play.

The Bucks enter this match with an 8-9 record.

Bucks starting lineup: Lillard, Jackson, Prince, Antetokounmpo, Lopez
