Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on January 24. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks yesterday were supposed to play away with New Orleans, but this meeting was postponed due to unfavourable weather conditions. Thus, the team will continue its home series with Miami. So far in this stretch Milwaukee has a 100 per cent result - victories over Sacramento (130:115), Orlando (122:93), Toronto (130:112) and Philadelphia (123:109).

In the Eastern Conference standings, Milwaukee has secured itself in the top-4, is actually in fourth place with a purely positive balance of victories - 24-17. In addition, we should note that Doc Rivers' team has made a lot of progress in terms of offensive play, reaching 12th place in the offensive rating with 114.0 points scored per game.

Miami Heat

The Heat also had a home-and-home game series ahead of their road trip to Wisconsin. But the team failed to finish as well as Milwaukee. Miami lost to Denver (113:133) and Portland (107:116), and beat only San Antonio (128:107).

The Heat have a total of four losses in their last five games. Jimi Butler's suspension from the team is taking its toll on Miami after all. In the Eastern Conference standings, the club from Florida is currently in ninth place with a balance of 21-21.

H2H Meetings

Expert Betting Tips

Milwaukee has recently demonstrated high offensive efficiency and has been racking up wins, of which the Bucks have already accumulated four in a row ahead of their meeting with Miami. The Heat, on the other hand, have lost form and are losing, as their previous game showed, to Portland-level opponents. We believe that Milwaukee will confidently confirm the status of the favourite in the upcoming game, and the total will be broken, again taking into account the progress that Doc Rivers' team has made in terms of offensive play.
