SCORE: 4

My model favors the Bucks. Milwaukee is currently the number one rated offense in terms of points per game, they also own a league average defense. The Bucks are well rested even though playing on the road. Brook Lopez will have a big game tonight. Lay the points.

My model slightly favors the Magic. KAT is still on IR so i wonder who is going to stop Vucevic. Vucevic is so underrated – a passing center that shoots 3’s, rebounds, and is physical presence. Lay the points.

Score: 2

My model slightly favors the Heat. Next man up… Both teams are injury riddled or on IR probable status due to covid protocol, et al. It all comes down to bench depth and team play. Top bench players assume starter roles and team’s 10-12 are now first off the bench – It’s a wash. Team play favors the Miami system, it is more interchangeable without much drop off. Though Philly is now run by Doc, it’s still a superstar driven team. If any of the big 3 sit: Embiid, Simmons or Harris, take Miami and the points.
