Milwaukee host Miami in one of the tasty clashes from the NBA at the weekend.
The Bucks started their regular season with a great win over the new-look Houston Rockets.
Milwaukee put up a blitz in the fourth quarter as they outscored James Harden’s Rockets 39 to 24 and ended up winning the game by six points.
The Heat didn’t do all that badly on their season opener by defeating the Memphis Grizzlies 120-101.
Miami also did a lot of good work in the fourth quarter by scoring 37 points to Memphis’ 17.
Kendrick Nunn and Justise Winslow scored 24+ points each in the win for the Heat, but things will be tougher against the Bucks.
Giannis Antetokounmpo bagged 30 points against the Rockets while the ’Greek Freak’ got great support with six teammates scoring double digits.
It was an all-around performance from Giannis as he recorded a triple-double while Khris Middleton bagged 11 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists for the Bucks in the win.
Milwaukee have been exceptional ever since Giannis exploded onto the scene, however, they have a great supporting cast too.
Miami haven’t been all that great since losing Dwayne Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh, but they seem to be rebuilding quite well.
Dream 11 requires at least three players from each team to be selected, and the right balance can lead to a great points haul.
Nunn was excellent against the Grizzlies as he racked up 24 points and could get a decent haul against the Bucks.
The other point guard for this clash is Eric Bledsoe, who had a quiet game last time around but stick racked up 11 points and a couple of assists.
Tyler Herro scored 14 points and recorded 8 rebounds in the previous game and is partnered by Pat Connaughton as the shooting guards for this game.
Winslow is one of the big hitters for the Heat and is selected for this position while the Bucks’ Middleton should be the other option for this spot.
Giannis is the only option for this position and it will be interesting to see if the Greek records another triple-double this season.
The Greek is one of the best in the league and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he ends up as the top scorer from the game.
Brook Lopez might have picked up more points than his brother, Robin, for the Bucks in the previous game.
However, Robin is the one selected for this position to keep a check on the credits spent.
Giannis is the man all the way and there shouldn’t be anyone else named as the star player.
This will be an interesting clash seeing the Heat take on the Bucks. However, Giannis’ side should have enough in the tank to get past the Miami team.
