Bucks vs Heat Picks and Predictions: Milwaukee Mutes Butler in Miami (Covers.com)

NBA odds, picks, and predictions for the Milwaukee Bucks at Miami Heat on January 14. NBA betting best bet and free pick analysis.

The Bucks rank second on defense and 24th on offense, while the Heat rank sixth on defense and 23rd on offense. The Bucks typically struggle shooting on the road, which is in part why the Under is 20-7 in the Bucks’ last 27 road games. They totaled just 210 in their matchup on Thursday, and the line tonight is nearly 10 points higher at 219.5. In their matchup on Thursday however, they hit 38.6% of their threes. The Under is 4-1 in the Bucks’ last five and 5-1 in the Heat’s last six. The Bucks started this season 9-0 but have since been barely above .500. I’m expecting the Bucks’ discipline and league-best interior defense to make things very hard on Butler again on Saturday. They foul just 18.4 times on average per contest, the lowest such mark in the NBA. The Bucks have had their ups and downs this season, but they remain the most disciplined team in the NBA. In fact, Butler, like most years, is shooting below league average from 3-point range and just a middling 63% at the rim. It’s incredible how every team knows that this is his game and yet, in a Harden-like fashion, they’re powerless to stop him. These teams have built up plenty of bad blood over multiple playoff series in the past few seasons and are coming off a tight run contest against each other just two days ago.

Without Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks suffer their second ... (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)

The Bucks finished a weeklong, four-game road trip with a 111-95 loss in Miami. Gabe Vincent had 27 points for the Heat. Milwaukee plays again Monday.

Bennedict Mathurin is in the rookie of the year conversation, and veterans Buddy Hield and Myles Turner have played well. It seemed innocuous in the moment, as the Heat reserve guard Jamal Cain came flying in underneath the Bucks defense to collect a missed jumper by Adebayo and put it back in. He scored seven straight points early in the fourth quarter and then he and Vincent turned [Jrue Holiday](https://www.nba.com/player/201950/jrue-holiday) over on three consecutive possessions, leading to Heat dunks and free throws for a 97-79 lead to effectively clinch the game. The Pacers have been a surprise team in the Eastern Conference this season due to the all-star caliber play of Oshkosh native Tyrese Haliburton, but Haliburton was injured last week. "I think playing in college and being so ball dominant, and making plays like that, getting up here and being able to space the floor, I feel confident in whatever they need me to," Green said of being able to find threes from any spot beyond the arc. Holiday finished with his ninth points-assists double-double of the season with 12 and 10, respectively. “Vincent came out and was lighting it up from three, Victor definitely got in a groove there in the second half and did the mixture of pull-ups and getting downhill. But in the four games following that Raptors victory, he averaged just 17 points on only 36% shooting, 13.3 rebounds and 6.3 assists. He ended the stretch with a 30-21-10 triple-double in Toronto. He nearly topped that on Saturday, starting the game 8 for 9 overall and 5 for 6 from deep to score 21 points in his first 16 minutes. Vincent, who started both games (just his third and fourth starts of the season) scored a career-high 28 points on Thursday on 10 of 17 shooting, including 5 of 11 from behind the three-point line. It was the third straight victory for the Heat (24-20).
