Reasoning

Tyler Herro’s return from injury couldn’t come at a better time for the Miami Heat who just extended their win streak to 3 games in a row. Following the all-star break they’ve now scored 128 and 136 points in their first 2 games, with Herro in the rotation they now have another 20+ ppg capable scorer and opposing teams are struggling to find answers. Tuesday sees the Heat take on the Milwaukee Bucks – a team that’s had their number over the years, but with Giannis Antetokounmpo out of the line-up this could be Miami’s best chance to revert that trend. In five meetings the Heat have just one win and are 0-5 against the spread, but despite that there will be no shortage of confidence following this recent run of stellar play offensively.

The Bucks split their first couple of games after the break. Following a 21 point win over the Pelicans they fell at home to the Raptors by 28, but that defeat can be partially attributed to the fact that it was a 2nd night of a back-to-back. Without Giannis the Bucks have been punching above their weight, however against a team like Miami they’ll have to be very sharp on the offensive end if they want to keep up in the scoring department. The play of Rylan Rollins certainly deserves recognition – over his last 8 games he’s shooting the 3-ball at 53.4%, he will be Milwaukee’s main option on offense on Tuesday.

If the first couple of games post all-star break are an indicator, the Miami Heat are back to playing the run and gun style of play which we saw in the first couple of months of the season. They shot the lights out both vs Atlanta and Memphis, the Bucks are worse in defensive rating than both of those teams this season. Backing the over has yielded a profit in 10 of 12 meetings at Fiserv Forum, and I’ll look for that trend to continue here.

Heat vs Bucks prediction: Over 228.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
