The Miami Heat will host the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night at the Kaseya Center with tipoff set for 7:30 PM ET. The Bucks are coming off a 108-102 win over visiting Portland where they rallied from a 26-point deficit. The Bucks are led by a pair of seven-time All-Stars in Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo. One player to keep an eye on is three-time All-Star forward Khris Middleton who missed the last game due to tendinitis in his left foot and is listed as questionable. Miami has a quartet of excellent players in Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, and Duncan Robinson. However, in a 112-97 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday, none of them played. Butler (ankle) and Adebayo (hip) were rested, while Herro has an ankle injury and Robinson a thumb injury. Those are Miami’s four leading scorers, averaging a combined 80.8 points per game. Herro has been ruled out for tonight, while Butler is questionable and Adebayo and Robinson are probable.

Heat vs Bucks Best Bets
Bucks -2.5 (-106 FanDuel)
With Miami hurting from the injury bug, the Bucks will look to take advantage and continue their recent strong play against the Heat where Milwaukee has won three straight regular-season matchups. The Bucks also come into this game playing very well having won 7 of their past 8 and going 5-2 ATS in their last 7. With Milwaukee ranking fifth in the league offensively over their last 10 games, the absence of Herro and his perimeter scoring punch might be too much to overcome.
Risk: 1.1 units on FanDuel to win 1.06 units. (Playable to -3)
