Prediction
Bucks 109, Heat 104
Moneyline (ML)
The Heat have the Bucks on the brink of elimination and are favored to finish them off at -139. The Bucks (+115) are underdogs for only the seventh time all season.
They are 2-4 when they’re not favored. The Heat have been fantastic when favored, going 39-13 in those games, but the Bucks are too talented and have been too good to get swept in a playoff series. They will extend this series Sunday. Take the BUCKS +115.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The Heat (-2.5, -110) have also been a great bet against the spread, covering 55.2% of the time this season — only five teams had a higher cover percentage. That record gets even better (30-21-1) when favored.
Milwaukee (+2.5, -110), meanwhile, is 2-4 ATS as an underdog, but again, even with Antetokounmpo not at 100%, the Bucks will come through. Take the underdog BUCKS +2.5 (-110).
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Bucks (+2.5) returns a profit of $9.09 if they lose by no more than 2 points or win outright.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total is set at 219.5 for Game 4. If the Bucks are to get back into this series, their defense will have to be back to the level it was all season. Miami has scored at least 115 points in each game so far.
The No. 1 defense will return and keep the Heat down. Take the UNDER 219.5 (-110).
