Why Consider Betting On The Miami Heat at +4.5?
Why consider backing the Heat in this mid-week matchup? Because they’ve been playing excellent basketball recently and are likely desperate to get back in the win column in this affair. The Heat had their seven-game winning streak snapped in their 119-111 road loss to Chicago on Monday and they’ll be without shooting guard Tyler Johnson in this affair after he suffered a sprained ankle against the Bulls. Veteran two-guard Dion Waiters was lost to a season-ending ankle surgery and Rodney McGruder hasn’t suited up this season after undergoing leg surgery during training camp. Now, the Heat are scrambling to find a shooting guard. “It seems like all position twos are going down,” point guard Goran Dragic told the Orlando Sun Sentinel. “You got Rodney, Dion, Tyler. Basically, we don’t have position twos. OK, J-Rich, Wayne, but hopefully it’s nothing, so we can get him back soon. We still want Rodney back. That’s going to help us a lot.” Despite their struggles at shooting guard, Miami had been playing its best basketball of the season before their last game. The Heat are averaging a modest 101.1 points per game (27th) on 45.6 percent shooting, but are limiting the opposition to just 101.8 points per contest (4th) on 45.4 percent shooting. Goran Dragic is averaging a team-high 17.3 points and 4.9 assists while Hassan Whiteside is averaging 13.8 points and 11.6 rebounds.Team Statistics

Why Consider Betting On The Milwaukee Bucks at -4.5?
Why consider betting on Milwaukee in this Eastern Conference clash? Because the Bucks will be playing at home and are a completely different team when they’re playing at the Bradley Center, where they’ve gone 14-8 this season, which is why they control the NBA spread for this game. Milwaukee snapped a two-game losing streak by beating Washington 104-95 on Monday as Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a team-high 27 points and pulled down 20 rebounds to become just the sixth player in franchise history since the NBA merger to go for 25 and 20 and the first to do it since Ersan Ilyasova pulled off the feat in 2012. Still, the Bucks have struggled to find some consistency as evidenced by their 5-5 mark over their last 10 games.
“One of the hardest things in this league to do is be consistent, and we are struggling with that,” Bucks coach Jason Kidd said after Monday’s win. “Hopefully, this can help us get to that point of being consistent on both ends.”
The Bucks are averaging 105 points per game (16th) on 48.1 percent shooting (4th) while allowing 105.9 points per contest (16th) on 47.1 percent shooting (24th). Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging a stellar 28.3 points and 10.1 rebounds per game while Khris Middleton is averaging 19.9 points and 4.2 assists.
