"Bam Adebayo's 83-point game will forever live in basketball lore no matter how many people try to discredit or claim it's "unethical." Though what got lost in the sauce was that the Heat moved out of the play-in as a result of their 150-129 win over the Washington Wizards. They enter Thursday's game as the No. 6 seed in the East, a 0.5 game back of the Orlando Magic."
"The last time these two teams met, a Giannis Antetokounmpo-less Bucks ousted the Heat by 11 - 128-117 - inside Fiserv Forum. Since then, Miami is 6-1 with pivotal wins over Charlotte and Detroit, playing some of its best basketball of the season, albeit without a few key players."
"Heat were without Powell, Herro, Wiggins and Kel'el Ware for Adebayo's historic night. They are expected to be without both Wiggins and Powell once again, though Ware and Herro are both questionable with shoulder and quad injuries, respectively."
The Miami Heat host the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. EST, aiming to extend their winning streak to seven games. This matchup comes two nights after Bam Adebayo's record-breaking 83-point performance in a 150-129 victory over Washington, which moved Miami out of the play-in tournament to the No. 6 seed in the East. The Heat currently sit 0.5 games behind Orlando and 0.5 games ahead of Toronto. Miami enters the game without Andrew Wiggins and Norman Powell, with Tyler Herro and Kel'el Ware listed as questionable. The Bucks are missing Kevin Porter Jr., Bobby Portis, and Jericho Sims. In their last meeting, Milwaukee defeated Miami 128-117 without Giannis Antetokounmpo.
