In this story:

The Miami Heat (10-7) are hoping to get back on track at the Kaseya Center against the Milwaukee Bucks (12-5) on Tuesday evening.

The Heat lost two straight games against the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets. On the other hand, the Bucks have won seven of their last eight games.

Injury report:

HEAT

Bam Adebayo: Probable - Left Hip Contusion

Duncan Robinson: Probable - Right Thumb Sprain

Jimmy Butler: Questionable - Right Ankle Sprain

Haywood Highsmith: Questionable - Lower Back Contusion

Dru Smith: Out - Right Knee ACL 3rd Degree Sprain

R.J. Hampton: Out - Right Knee Sprain

Tyler Herro: Out - Right Ankle Sprain

BUCKS

Khris Middleton: Questionable - Left Achilles Tendinitis

Marques Bolden: Out - G League - Two-Way

Jae Crowder: Out - Left Adductor Surgery

TyTy Washington Jr.: Out - G League - Two-Way

Lindell Wigginton: Out - G League - Two-Way

Miami is in jeopardy of playing without their Big Three once again. They lost to the Nets by 15 points, with Butler, Adebayo, and Herro sidelined.

Robinson and Highsmith are two of their best players outside of their star trio. Both of their contributions will be missed if they are unable to go.

For the Bucks, Middleton is a cornerstone of the organization but has been lackluster this season. He is averaging 11.6 points, 4.2 assists, and 3.9 rebounds.

Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo are picking up steam, posing a tall task for an injured Heat roster.
