Randy’s Pick
The Miami Heat have the rest advantage and what not, but not having wings in Josh Richardson, Caleb Martin and Haywood Highsmith hurts them in spots like this. You need defense when playing a team like the Bucks and the Heat are undermanned on the perimeter. The Milwaukee Bucks are also in a revenge spot after being eliminated by the Heat in last season's playoffs. If the Heat were closer to full strength, I'd grab the points, but they're not. Hard not to side with the Bucks in a comfortable home victory.
The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
