Bucks vs. Heat – Will Giannis Play? Injury Report, Game Time & Odds
Alright, let’s talk about tonight’s big game – the Milwaukee Bucks hosting the Miami Heat at Fiserv Forum. This one’s got some serious playoff implications. The Bucks, sitting at 31-24, are pushing hard to secure home-court advantage in the first round, while the Heat, currently 26-28, are fighting to stay in the playoff picture. So, yeah, a lot is on the line.
The big question on everyone’s mind – is Giannis Antetokounmpo playing? The answer is yes! According to head coach Doc Rivers, Giannis will suit up for his third straight game after missing six in a row before the All-Star break. But here’s the catch—he’s still on a minutes restriction. Over the last two games, he played 24 and 22 minutes, so expect something similar tonight. Still, having him on the court, even in limited action, is a huge boost for the Bucks.

Now, what about Damian Lillard? Good news there as well—he’s probable to play after sitting out Friday’s game in Washington due to a strained hamstring. Taurean Prince, who also missed that game, is expected to return. The Bucks are almost at full strength, but they’ll still be without Pat Connaughton (calf strain) and Bobby Portis Jr. (serving a league suspension).
Tip-off is set for 5 p.m., and while it’s not a nationally televised game, fans in Wisconsin can catch it on FanDuel Sports Network with Lisa Byington, Marques Johnson, and Melanie Ricks on the call.
As for the odds, Milwaukee enters as a 5.5-point favorite over Miami, with the over/under set at 220.5 points, according to BetMGM. With Giannis back, Lillard in the lineup, and the Bucks looking for their fourth straight win, expect an intense battle. Miami won’t go down easy, but Milwaukee has a chance to build even more momentum heading into the crucial stretch of the season. Buckle up, this should be a good one!
