Bucks Hoping to Extend Winning Streak
Their latest form is 4-6 in the last ten outings after Milwaukee won two straight, following a streak of four losses. They averaged 114.3 points per game in that period while shooting a healthy 50.1% from the field.
Though the Bucks have recently slipped to 18-20 away from home, they continue to have an impressive record within the conference, 28-21. Once again, it will be all up to Antetokounmpo on that aspect for them. The team has also failed to deliver in numerous close matches, having gone just 5-9 so far in games decided by a single possession.
Heat Hold the Last Hope on Playoff
The regular season will soon come to an end, and almost every game counts for the Heat to make it to the playoffs. With a crucial game looming on Saturday that could have an immense impact on playoff standings in the East, the question is, will the game make the achieving of postseason headlines that much closer?
