Drama surrounds this matchup with motivation on both sides of the hardwood… six months ago the Milwaukee Bucks were the top-ranked Eastern Team with the best record in basketball, but an untimely injury to their superstar resulted in a quick oust in the playoffs.
The team who ran through Milwaukee in five games was the Miami Heat who represented the East in the NBA Finals. Still, Jimmy Butler and Co. arrive with their own vendetta as they expected Damian Lillard to be wearing a Heat jersey.
Season Series
Last season the teams split their four matches each winning both home games while Miami holds the all-time record between the clubs with 75 victories in 126 matches.
Miami Heat
A tough schedule marks the start of the Heat season as they’ve played three games with just a single one-point victory versus the Pistons. Losses followed to the Celtics (111-119) and Wolves (90-106) and now they face another strong opponent.
After this match, Miami will return home for a three-game set and then hit the road for nine of their next 10 matches. Bam Adebayo appears to have taken a step and is leading the team with 24.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 2 blocks through three games.
Heat Stats
Last season Miami finished ranking 25th offensively (112.3), ninth defensively (112.8), and registered the 21st net rating (-0.5).
Heat Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Kevin Love, PF (upgraded to probable- – shoulder)
- Josh Richardson, SG (OUT indefinitely – – foot)
- Haywood Highsmith SG (OUT indefinitely – -MCL)
- Caleb Martin, SG (downgraded to doubtful- – knee)
- Duncan Robinson PF (probable — foot)
Milwaukee Bucks
Damian Lillard made quite an impression in his first game as a Buck scoring 39 points and showcasing why clutch time with him on your time is famously referred to as ‘Dame Time’.
The guard scored the last 11 points for the Bucks who needed every one of them in their 118-117 victory versus the 76ers after blowing a 19-point lead. Lillard added eight assists while Giannis Antetokounmpo offered a double-double of 23 points and 13 rebounds.
Antetokounmpo and Lillard both made history as Giannis became the all-time franchise leader in baskets scored while the latter registered the highest-scoring debut in Bucks history.
Milwaukee’s second match featured a performance on the opposite end of the spectrum as they got roasted by the Hawks with Lillard scoring just 6 points on 2 of 12 shooting.
Bucks Stats
Last season they finished ranking 15th offensively (114.3), and fourth defensively (110.9) with the fifth-best net differential (+3.4).
Bucks Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Khris Middleton, SG (probable — sat Sunday for rest)

Free Miami Heat vs. Milwaukee Bucks NBA Prediction:
It’s likely Antetokounmpo circled all the dates the Bucks would play the Heat after the quick exit to Miami in the postseason.
While every player is competitive, Giannis is considered ultra-competitive so undoubtedly he used that embarrassing rout to fuel his work in the lab this offseason.
On the other side of the court, the Heat will be equally motivated because they expected Lillard to be playing with them, not against them.
Defensive assignments should be interesting as there isn’t anyone in Milwaukee with the same defensive prowess as Jrue Holiday who typically shadowed Butler.
Milwaukee is playing the second game of a back-to-back set which theoretically should give the Heat a bit of an edge but the rout meant fewer minutes for the core (Malik Beasley was the only starter to play over 29 minutes).
Doubtful Dame has back-to-back poor shooting performances and I expect Giannis to have that look in his eye from the tip.
