The Milwaukee Bucks play the Miami Heat in what should be a thrilling NBA Cup game. The former Eastern Conference champions will battle it out in an East Group B early match.

Teams are beginning to be eliminated and others closer to clinching a playoff spot. These two teams are in that exact situation.

 

 

 

Milwaukee Bucks: Add It Up

The Milwaukee Bucks have not played well enough to deserve praise but do have an opportunity to do something special today. With a win against the Miami Heat they will have a 3-0 advantage in the group.

The Detroit Pistons are the other 2-0 team in the group, and should the Milwaukee Bucks win, they could be in a win and in scenario, or even a loss and have a better point differential. The Bucks currently have the best differential of the group with +26. 

Milwaukee is on a four-game win streak and have won seven of their last ten. A win today would put them back at .500, in addition to a chance for qualifying for the next round of the Emirates NBA Cup. As terrible as their start has been to the season, Milwaukee has a chance to prove their recent win streak is legitimate.

 

 

 

Miami Heat: Options

The Miami Heat are the same inconsistent team they have been for most of this decade. The win/loss columns reflect it too. 7-7 on the season, and 5-5 in their last ten games. The Heat are capable of crushing an opponent one game, only to get blown out by a sup par team the following game.

They come in today winners of their last two games and in fifth place of the Eastern Conference. There are playmakers across their roster but once again it is difficult to predict which player will have the better game.

Bucks vs. Heat Predictions & Picks Today: Tuesday, 11/26

There are several players in question with today’s NBA Cup match between Milwaukee and Miami. 

Both cities are on a large body of water and start with the letter M… but there isn’t much else in common with the two cities. The question becomes which team steps it up today?

 

 

 

Bucks vs. Heat Prediction: Milwaukee Money Line (+110 on DraftKings)

With two inconsistent teams, and an almost even odd game, the question becomes which team do you trust more. For WagerAlarm, it is the team with the best player, and on a four-game win streak. 

Giannis Antetokounmpo has carried the Bucks to a championship before. Despite the rhetoric that Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton are the true factors that won Milwaukee the championship, neither of them put up 50 points, 14 rebounds, and 4 blocks in an NBA Finals close out game. That was Giannis Antetokounmpo. 

Look for him to put the team on his back again as Antetokounmpo and the Bucks have an opportunity to add another championship to their resume, the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup. The Bucks are two-point underdogs, and the money line is at plus odds compared to juiced lines at +2 which isn’t much of a spread in the NBA.
