Saturday, October 26 finds Eastern Conference rivals the Miami Heat and. Milwaukee Bucks facing each other for their second game this season. Both clubs won their opening matches.
Last season, the squads played four times with the Bucks winning three of the four matches. The Heat holds the all-time record having bested the Bucks in 68 of their 112 matches.
Miami Heat
Personal reasons were the only details provided for Jimmy Butler’s absence from the home opener. As it turns out Butler left to be present for the birth of his daughter and won’t travel with the team for games in Milwaukee and his former team Minnesota.
In the opener, Miami registered a 120-101 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. It was a close match through three frames but in the fourth quarter the Heat turned a one-point lead into a 19 point differential.
The youngsters were impressive with undrafted rookie Kendrick Nunn causing a buzz as fans flocked to find out where this hidden gem came from. Nunn scored 24 points trailing only Justise Winslow (27 points) for the team high.

Tyler Herro picked up right where he left off in preseason playing and shooting with ease more reminiscent of a vet than a rookie. Herro scored 14 points.
Yet the highlight of the night came courtesy of a Derrick Jones Jr. dunk over Jonas Valanciunas in which his head was even with the rim. It was so impressive it could end up being the dunk of the year.
Butler (paternity leave), James Johnson (conditioning), Dion Waiters (served suspension) won’t travel with the team. Udonis Haslem (wrist) is questionable.
Milwaukee Bucks
In the first game back on the hardwood, the Bucks were outplayed by Houston in the first half but Giannis Antetokounmpo came out possessed in the second half along with a better team defensive effort to erase the deficit and take the lead.
The MVP fouled out with over five minutes remaining already having registered a triple-double of 30 points, 11 assists, and 13 rebounds. Inexplicably the Rockets couldn’t cut into the Bucks six-point lead.

All five Bucks starters and two reserve players registered double-digit scoring. Ilyasova played with panache drawing offensive fouls and hitting timely shots while collecting a double-double of 13 points and 11 rebounds.
Ultimately, credit the Bucks for their second-half defense and cohesive team play for the victory.
The Bucks have no injuries.

Free Miami Heat vs. Milwaukee Bucks NBA Prediction:
Despite this being the Bucks home opener and the Heat not having Butler with them, per usual, Eric Spoelstra’s club plays tough, gritty defense. The difference this season is those youngsters who can score and are fearless.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Take the points and the Heat
Another interesting tidbit is the Heat played better on the road than they did at home last season. The Bucks can’t afford to shoot like they did in the first half in Houston but should be more comfortable on their homecourt. Still, the 10 point spread feels a little too high.
