Heat managed to cope with the absence of key players in the ranks, who were forced to take a break due to quarantine. Unfortunately, Kyle Lowry was also banned, but Jimmy Butler, who is the leader of the club, returned to the floor. Eric Spoelstra is looking forward to the return of Bam Adebayo, Markiff Morris and Victor Oladipo as they recover from their injuries. “Miami” has issued three victories in a row, thus getting closer to “Milwaukee”. The team dealt with Indiana (125:96), played successfully against Detroit (115:112) and in the last meeting put Orlando (93:83) in their place. The Lights will try to extend the streak, especially since an unstable opponent comes to visit.
Milwaukee has already waited for the return of their leader. In the last match against Boston, Yannis Adetokounbo appeared on the floor. The Greek basketball player became the best player in the meeting. In 29.5 minutes on the floor, he managed to score 36 points and also made 12 rebounds and five assists. Thanks to his efforts, the Bucks beat the Celtics with a score of 117:113. It is worth noting that the victory over the “Celts” was the third in a row for the “deer”. Before that, Mike Budenholzer’s charges also defeated Houston (126:106) and Dallas (105:92). In the standings of the East, Milwaukee is on the third line.
