The NBA In-Season Tournament continues tonight as the Miami Heat welcome the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks are so far undefeated in the group, with 3 wins out of 3. The Heat, however, are capable of blowing the group wide open if they can improve on their 2-1 record tonight. If the New York Knicks can overcome the Charlotte Hornets tonight, too, coupled with a Heat win we could find ourselves with 3 teams having a 3-1 record heading into the final group games.
You can check out all of our NBA previews. But for now check out our Bucks-Heat same game parlay below.
Milwaukee Bucks -3 (-110)
The Bucks were able to win the first meeting between the sides this season and will be confident they can pick up another win against the Heat tonight. Miami has been rocked by several injuries to the core of the team. Both Bam Adebayo and Duncan Robinson are dealing with knocks but are probable to play. Jimmy Butler, on the other hand, is questionable and Tyler Herro has been ruled out. When the sides met earlier in the season Herro led all players in scoring. With the visiting Bucks 5th in offensive rating over the last 10 games, that lack of scoring punch could hurt Miami.
Damian Lillard to score 30+ points (+165)
Damian Lillard has been on fire for the Bucks. He has scored 31 points in 2 straight games. I expect him to keep that run going against Kyle Lowry and the Heat. The 37-year-old guard should find it tough to stay in front of the Bucks superstar. Lillard managed to score 25 in the first meeting against him this season. With more time under his belt with the Bucks now and Khris Middleton being out, look for him to have a major role within the offense. The Heat allowed 112 points in their last outing but could leak more to the Bucks on Tuesday.
