Premium Pick

Miami almost stole Game 1 before being humiliated in Game 2 when the Heat shot only 40.2 percent and were buried under 3-pointers by the Bucks, who made 22 of 53 from beyond the arc. The Heat obviously must do better with its perimeter defense and hold Milwaukee closer to its Game 1 output when the Bucks made only 5-of-31 3-point attempts. Miami will try to use home-court advantage to improve on its 8-for-28 3-point shooting on Monday. Milwaukee is 9-19 ATS its past 28 games after scoring at least 125 points its previous game and Miami still has covered the spread six of its last eight games overall and the Bucks are 2-7 ATS their past nine games. Four of the last six meetings have stayed UNDER and Miami is 11-5 UNDER versus teams with winning records. The emotional swings are dramatic in the NBA playoffs and look for Miami to bounce back from Monday's debacle. Play the Heat on the money line and take the UNDER.
