NBA Matchup: Miami Heat vs Milwaukee Bucks
Date: 27th May 2021
Time: 7:30 PM ET
Game 3 in the first round of the eastern conference between Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat are set to tip-off tomorrow. Games 1 and 2 were taken by the Bucks who lead the series 2-0. The Bucks enter this game after having arguably one of the best playoff shooting performances of their franchise in Game 2. As the series moves to Miami, Jimmy Butler and the Heat will have a chance to even the series and take momentum in these two games. The rivalry between the Heat and Bucks goes back to the last postseason. The Heat eliminated the Bucks 4-1 in the bubble and began the series with a commanding 3-0 lead. Finishing it in 5 games
The two-time reigning MVP and the Bucks are considered the favourites to win this series. This is because the Bucks made several moves this off-season. They signed Giannis to a Supermax contract and traded Eric Bledsoe for Jrue Holiday. This was in order to surround the freak with other clutch playmakers besides Middleton. This upgrade in Roster has made the Bucks a serious contender in the East.
These two teams faced each other in the regular season thrice with the Bucks winning two out of the three games in a large blowout.
Miami Heat vs Milwaukee Bucks Game 3 Prediction
Miami Heat is expected to win Game 3 rallying on Jimmy Butler’s playmaking ability. Jimmy is arguably one of the most underrated basketball players in the league. He has impacted every franchise he has been a part of just like the other superstars in the league. He is expected to have a comeback game after scoring only a mere 10 points in Game 2. The Bucks are also coming off a great shooting night and are unlikely to be able to achieve a similar effect consecutively heading into Miami.
Miami Heat is expected to have a much better shooting night and build “the wall” that they built the last bubble to keep the greek freak out of the paint. Despite the Heat being predicted to win Game 3, I do not think it will be a blowout and the Bucks are still favoured to win the series
