Milwaukee at Miami

Miami was swept by the Bucks in last season's playoffs, but it was obvious the Heat was exhausted after going to the Finals the year before and then experiencing a short offseason. The Heat made a huge acquisition getting Kyle Lowry from Toronto and Duncan Robinson is one of the premier shooters in the league as he shot 40.8 percent from 3-point range while averaging 13.1 points last season. Jimmy Butler is looking to bounce back from a poor performance in the playoffs as he also a victim of fatigue. Milwaukee defeated Brooklyn 127-104 on opening night as Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 32 points. The Heat are healthy except for Victor Oladipo, who is recovering from a knee injury. It's a letdown spot for the Bucks after their opening-night win and ring ceremony. Take the Heat.
