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.
