The fifth-seeded Miami Heat had no trouble to sweep the Indiana Pacers in the last round, but it might be a disadvantage as they've not played competitive basketball for a week.

The top-ranked Milwaukee Bucks on the other hand are more up to speed after completing a gentleman's sweep of the Magic just a few days ago and the three-day break in the postseason might've worked to their advantage. While I think the Heat will put up some good fights in this series eventually, the Bucks have a big situational edge here in Game 1 IMO.

Heat are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. Bucks are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games (as a favorite).

8* play on Milwaukee Bucks.
