Season Series
Monday, April 24th finds the Milwaukee Bucks facing the Miami Heat in game 4 of the first-round playoff series. In the four matches, the teams played this season each side won twice.
Last season, the squads split the four regular season contests. The Heat hold the all-time record having bested the Bucks in 75 of their 126 matches.
Milwaukee Bucks
For the second consecutive game, Giannis Antetokounmpo was part of the cheerleading squad on the bench as he continues to work back from the back contusion he suffered early in Game 1.
The hope was he’d be ready to go on Saturday, but still hasn’t progressed to that point. As of this posting, he remains listed as questionable.
In his absence, the Bucks’ offense looked stilted with a lack of ball movement and to make matters worse they were nowhere near their typical defensive selves.
Stats
Opponents score the 14th-fewest points with the Bucks allowing 113.3 per game limiting opponents to 45.6% from the field and 35.4% from deep ranking second and eighth respectively.
Offensively, the Bucks score 116.9 points per game ranking eighth, while shooting 47.3% from the field and 36.8% from the perimeter ranking 19th and 10th in the latter two categories.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Giannis Antetokounmpo (questionable—back)
- Wesley Matthews (questionable—calf)
Per Mike Budenholzer, Giannis Antetokounmpo did some individual work before the team's film session today.
Budenholzer, however, did not have an update on what Antetokounmpo's status would be on the injury report for Game 4.

Miami Heat
The Heat won every quarter of the match on Saturday and were blistering hot from the perimeter drilling 16 of their 33 attempts (48.5%). While they won the game, they suffered a major loss as Victor Oladipo went down with a patellar tendon tear.
Although they brought out the stretcher he ignored it choosing to walk out with the help of his team and coaching staff.
Jimmy Butler led the way with 30 points but it was the reserve unit who were the x-factors as they outscored the Bucks bench 59 to 28.
Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo suffered a patellar tendon tear in his left knee and will miss the rest of the postseason, the team announced Sunday.

Free Milwaukee Bucks vs. Miami Heat NBA Prediction:
With Herro and Oladipo both lost indefinitely and Kyle Lowry nursing a sore knee it limits Erik Spoelstra’s guard options as his backcourt depth continues to get thinner and thinner.
A key strength of the Bucks is their depth and while the team is built around Antetokounmpo his absence shouldn’t be impacting their system as much as it did in Game 3.
Assuming Giannis is even remotely close it would be surprising if he didn’t suit up on Monday and his presence alone would infuse the Bucks’ production.
