Miami has the defense but not the offensive punch to hang with versatile and explosive Milwaukee. Miami was #25 in the NBA in scoring during the regular season, the Bucks were No. 1, plus fourth in three-point shooting (38.9 percent). The Bucks can play great defense, too, fifth in the NBA in field goal shooting, better than the Heat. Milwaukee is 65-47 ATS as home chalk, as well as 33-18 ATS at home against teams that shoot 46% from the field or better. Miami is also 3-7 ATS as an underdog. Play Milwaukee in Game 2.
