BUCKS
NOT YET SUBMITTED
Miami was without superstar Jimmy Butler against the Timberwolves. They were also missing contributors such as Kevin Love, Josh Richardson, and Caleb Martin. They struggled to find scoring with Butler sidelined, despite Tyler Herro recording
This win is crucial for the Heat who are looking to avoid starting the season with a 1-3 record. When Richardson returns, he will impact the Heat’s struggling defense in the starting lineup. Veteran Kyle Lowry is currently in his place.
A hot topic surrounding this Eastern Conference matchup is Damian Lillard against the Heat. Lillard requested a trade to Miami early in the offseason, but was moved to Milwaukee prior to the start of preseason.
