Miami hasn't been very good away from home this season (15-22) and is in Orlando for this neutral-site showdown. It's been a week since they finished off a sweep of Indiana but now they step up to play No. 1 seeded Milwaukee. Both teams are stout defensively, but Miami was #15 in the regular season in points scored. Milwaukee was No. 1 during the regular season in points (118.7 pg), third in field goal shooting, while the defense was eighth in points allowed, No. 1 in field goal defense. The Bucks rolled in the last meeting just three weeks ago, a 130-116 rout shooting 52.6%, forcing 19 turnovers while allowing 42.2% shooting. That was the only meeting inside the NBA bubble and the wagering value is on the top seed to win the game. Take Milwaukee on the moneyline.
