The Miami Heat advanced to this round by sweeping the Indiana Pacers.
They won game four over the Pacers 99-87 last Monday. Miami has had a week off since their last game and hopefully, the layoff has not made them a little rusty. The Heat are putting up 111.3 points and they are giving up 100.8 points. The Heat are led by Goran Dragic with 22.8 points, with four rebounds, and five assists. Jimmy Butler adds 19.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, four assists. Bam Adebayo has averaged a double-double in the bubble with 15 points and 11.3 rebounds.

Milwaukee took care of the Orlando Magic on five games, winning game five 118-104. Miami won two of the three regular-season meetings this year. Milwaukee dropped the opening game against Orlando and then won four in a row. The Bucks won each of their games by double-digits. The Bucks are putting up 116.2 points a game and are giving 107 points. The Bucks are led by Giannis Antetokounmpo with 30.6 points, 16 rebounds, and 6.8 assists. Eric Bledsoe adds 11.6 points and he dishes out 6.6 assists. Brook Lopez chips in 13.4 points a game.

This could be a very close series. the long rest for Miami may make them a little off in Game 1. Milwaukee looked shaky in game one against Orlando but then dominated the rest of the series. I like Milwaukee to draw first blood in this series and get the cover.

Play on Milwaukee.
