🔊Can Milwaukee finish November on a high note? In recent games, the Bucks have gained excellent momentum, recording 4 consecutive wins. Thanks to this series of successful matches, the team has sharply climbed into the top-6 of the Eastern Conference and clearly does not plan to stop. However, Miami is also in great form and will do everything to win in their home game. We advise you to check out our prediction before placing a bet.

Head-to-Head

In head-to-head matchups, Miami often frustrates its opponent. In a stretch of 63 games, the Heat achieved the desired result 36 times, while Milwaukee won only 27 times. Notably, 5 of the last 7 meetings also ended in favor of Miami.

Miami Heat

Miami approaches the upcoming matchup in high spirits. A six-day break (from November 19 to 25) had a positive impact on the team, and in the last game against Dallas, Erik Spoelstra’s charges displayed very high-quality basketball. The Heat defeated last season’s NBA finalist on their home court with a score of 123-118, completely shutting down their opponent (9-4). Butler’s performance is also worth noting, as he recorded 33 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists, just one step away from a double-double.

Milwaukee Bucks

At the start of the season, Milwaukee had serious problems closing out games and at one point even occupied the last place in the East. However, now the team is racking up one victory after another. The Bucks achieved the desired result in 6 of the last 7 games, propelling them into the playoff zone. In the most recent game on November 24, Milwaukee comfortably defeated Charlotte (125-119), hitting every other three-point shot (18/37). Once again, Antetokounmpo and Lillard put on a true basketball show, scoring a combined 63 points (half of the team’s total points).

Editorial Prediction

According to sportsbooks, there is no clear favorite in the upcoming matchup. We completely agree with them on this matter. Both teams are in roughly the same form, with leaders showcasing very high-quality basketball. While Milwaukee has won 6 of their last 7 games, Miami has dealt with serious opponents like Philadelphia (106-89) and Dallas (123-118) in their previous 2 games. Considering that the teams are neighbors in the Eastern Conference standings (sixth and seventh places respectively), and the last 3 head-to-head meetings have been high-scoring, we suggest considering a bet on total over (216.5).
