Milwaukee Bucks bid to go 2-0 up in their NBA play-off game against Miami Heat. The winners of this Eastern Conference tie will be up against either the Brooklyn Nets or Boston Celtics in the semi-finals. The Bucks took the first match in this best-of-seven series by 109 points to 107. They led by three points at half-time but Miami clawed their way back into the match to level the scores taking the game into Overtime. The Bucks won that 10-8 and took a vital lead. Antetokounmpo is doubtful for Milwaukee in this match and that's a blow as he scored 26 points in the opening match. Miami will be missing Oladipo from their line-up. Just as was the case in the first match, this is being played in Milwaukee. Getting a 2-0 lead going into their first match in Miami will be a massive boost for them. Milwaukee are the third seeds, three ahead of Miami. They won six more matches than their opponents in the regular season. The close win in the first match is bound to give them plenty of confidence and they can get another win here.
