Premium Pick

Miami beat Milwaukee 97-79 on Sunday for its third straight win over the Bucks and the wins have been by an average of 16 points. The Heat lost at Chicago in a back-to-back the following night, but now it gets the Bucks again. Milwaukee is also playing a third game in four nights after beating the Wizards on Monday, which snapped a two-game losing streak. The Bucks were held to 31.6 percent shooting in the loss to the Heat, including 4-of-28 from three-point range. Obviously, Miami's perimeter defense is superior as it sank 11-of-29 three-point attempts and shot 46.1 percent overall with Goran Dragic scoring a team-leading 25 points. Miami's loss at Chicago broke a seven-game winning streak and the Heat is 5-0 ATS following a loss. However, look for Miami to win this one outright and play the Heat on the moneyline.
