The set-up: Whether Bucks' star Giannis plays in this game or not, I think that Miami will find a way to come out on top once it's all said and done. The Heat lost a tight Game 4 vs. a desperate Bucks' team, but Miami is primed for a bounce back here and I think it'll deliver its best performance yet. I don't think the Bucks suddenly have "life" here, in fact I think this definitely sets up as a classic "letdown" after they managed to avoid the dreaded series sweep.

The pick: The Heat are playing at an extremely high level and nothing's going to change in Game 5. Note as well that Miami is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after allowing 115 points or more in an OT loss in its previous outing. I'm not laying the point, I'm paying what I feel to be a very reasonable mid-sized price on the MONEY LINE.

The is a 10* MONEY-LINE DESTRUCTION on the Miami Heat.
