76ers Playoff Watch: Bucks vs. Heat Game 2 Odds & Prediction

As the Philadelphia 76ers prepare for their Game 3 matchup against the Brooklyn Nets, the Eastern Conference Playoffs will continue on Wednesday night with a second battle between the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks and the eighth-seeded Miami Heat.

In the first matchup between the Bucks and the Heat over the weekend, both teams found themselves dealing with significant setbacks early on.

During the first quarter of the game, Bucks’ big man Giannis Antetokounmpo took a hard fall on his back and left the court to get checked out. After going through some testing in the locker room, Antetokounmpo was ruled out for the rest of the game.

While the Bucks didn’t deem the injury serious enough to guarantee Antetokounmpo would miss time moving forward, he was added to the injury report for Game 2 and was considered questionable for the matchup.

On Miami’s end, their star guard Tyler Herro suffered a broken hand in the second quarter. Similar to Giannis, Herro was ruled out for the entire matchup. But unlike the Bucks’ star, Herro was told he would miss time moving forward. On Tuesday, the Heat noted that the earliest Herro could return to the court is during the NBA Finals.

Miami still has a long way to go before they reach that point. They are set to take on a Bucks team that’s looking for their first playoff win this year after collecting an upset loss on Sunday.
