Heat at Bucks: times, TV and how to watch online, NBA 2021-22

Heat at Bucks

High flying Miami Heat have been in dazzling form this season and a large part of that, has been due to the Kyle Lowry. The point guard has averaged 13.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 7.9 assists, and 1.2 steals, while shooting 42.5% from the field, and 35.6% from beyond the arc. Modest though it may seem, he's been as consistent as ever. Unfortunately it now seems that the Heat won't be able to count on Lowry. According to the Heat's injury report as well as comments from both Jimmy Butler and head coach Erik Spoelstra, Lowry won't be available against the Bucks due to personal family reasons. With Lowry out, the Bucks can definitely breathe easier, however, it would be improper not to acknowledge that the Bucks definitely have weapons of their own.

Miami went 9-1 in February to take a two-game lead atop the East, capping a stunning month by routing the Chicago Bulls 112-99 on Monday.

Giannis out to prove a point

The Milwaulkee Bucks however can count on Giannis Antetokounmpo with the Greek international currently flying high.

Being slightly undermanned has not proven an issue for the Heat of late, yet it may be different against the Bucks and their two-time MVP.

Giannis used the month of February to deliver a scarcely needed reminder of why he is arguably the finest basketball player on the planet.

However, having made the NBA Finals two seasons ago, the Heat have shown they can deliver against top-tier opposition.

The Bucks, though, have been a thorn in Miami's side, sweeping them in the first round en route to the title last season, and this encounter may provide an insight into whether the Heat, who have won two out of their meetings with Milwaukee this season, can cause the defending champions serious problems in the postseason.
