Predictions

Both the Bucks and Heat are currently doing well as each of their superstars play their best basketball of the season. Heat forward Jimmy Butler returned from an ankle injury for the last two games. He has scored 30 or more points in each of his two games back, including 33 points in the Heat's overtime win over the Dallas Mavericks.

On the Bucks' side, Giannis Antetokounmpo is playing his most dominant basketball of the season. Antetokounmpo has scored over 30 points in each of the Bucks' last three games, including a 41-point game against the Bulls. Antetokounmpo was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week on Monday for his play.

Though both Butler and Antetokounmpo are playing their best, the key might be the location of the game. The Bucks are just 1-6 on the road this season, which gives the Heat a significant edge. The Bucks will have to prove they can win consistently on the road.

Prediction: Heat 117, Bucks 110

The Bucks are currently 2-0 in the 2024 NBA Cup, with wins over the Toronto Raptors and Pacers. They have two more games in the group stages, with a chance at advancing to the knockout rounds on the line. If the Bucks can defeat the Heat, they should an excellent opportunity to qualify for the next round of the tournament. The Heat are 1-1 in the 2024 NBA Cup so far.
