Miami Heat
This week marks a tough stretch of games for the team residing atop the East’s ladder. The victory Monday marked what will be a tough schedule segment featuring matches against the Bulls, Bucks, Nets, and 76ers
While pundits are focused on debating why the 76ers with James Harden, of Nets with Ben Simmons are now the prohibitive favorite, or why the defending champs are still the team to beat until this week Miami was getting very little attention or consideration.
Miami was my preseason pick to win the conference and they remain my pick because although winning the conference is wonderful, particularly the home-court advantage the reality is this team was built for the postseason.
And the fact their core still doesn’t have 100 minutes together on the floor but boasts the best record should have these other teams concerned.
Especially since the Heat wins regardless of who plays or the opponent -something the above quartet of clubs hasn’t mastered to the same degree — hence their seeding. ‘
Caleb Martin (Achilles) is questionable while Kyle Lowry (personal) was downgraded to out Wednesday. Markieff Morris (neck) and Victor Oladipo (knee) are out indefinitely.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks have taken more of a laid-back approach to this season knowing all that matters is winning 16 games in the spring. That said there are a few red flags of late.
First, the club is 2-4 through their last six games and hasn’t beat an elite talent since late January (consecutive wins versus Grizzlies and Bulls.
But the elephant in the room is even if Brook Lopez miraculously returns this season the group responsible for the title would still be missing a key ingredient – – PJ Tucker! Oh and by the way – he now plays for Miami and fits their system better.
George Hill (neck) was downgraded to out Wednesday. Pat Connaughton (finger) and Brook Lopez (back) are out indefinitely.

Free Miami Heat vs. Milwaukee Bucks NBA Prediction
The Heat has won 9 of 10 and is riding a current four-game win streak. Neither team needs to win but it feels like the Bucks are the club more in need of this victory.
Sending a definitive message to the Heat as their lasting impression prior to the playoffs would be valuable although I’m not sure even the Heat youngsters ever get rattled.
Bam Adebayo looks All-NBA worthy again, playing his best ball perhaps ever. Keep an eye on him guarding Giannis Antetokounmpo and how effective he is.
