Prediction published on 15/05/2021, 07:35  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 15/05/2021 at 08:35 in NBA Prediction

Milwaukee Bucks are the Central Division winners in the Eastern Conference and host Miami Heat. They are in third place in the overall standings as the play-offs approach. The Bucks look to build on their 25-10 home record, only two sides have won more at home than them in this conference. They could yet catch the Brooklyn Nets for second place in the conference but would need to win their last two regular season matches to have a chance of doing that. The Bucks have beaten Orlando and Indiana in their last two games and have eight wins from their last ten matches. The last five at home have all been won so this will be a tough match for Miami.

Miami have a 39-31 season record and will also be in the play-offs. They are second in the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference and still in with a chance of beating the Atlanta Hawks (40-31) to the divisional title. They are fifth overall in the conference, so won't get the easiest of games in the play-offs. Miami have an 18-16 record on the road this season and have won four of their last five. This looks like being a tight match, go for the Bucks to edge the win.
