The Miami Heat will look to take a commanding 2-0 series lead in their first-round matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. The Heat (44-38) pulled out a stunning 130-117 victory in Game 1 on Sunday after both teams suffered huge injuries in the 2023 NBA playoff opener. Milwaukee lost MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo (questionable) with a back injury, and Miami saw point guard Tyler Herro (out) break his hand late in the first half. The Bucks (58-24) had swept the Heat out of the 2021 Eastern Conference first round, the last time the teams met in the postseason.

The game will tip off at 9 p.m. ET. The Heat averaged 109.5 points, 30th-best in the NBA, during the regular season, while the Bucks averaged 116.9, eighth-best.
