MIA vs MIL Dream11 Prediction: Don’t you think predicting and picking lineups has become much more difficult in this pandemic-induced environment? The Miami Heat, who have been plagued by injuries, will now face the Milwaukee Bucks, who are a much healthier team. The Heat are three games above 50%, but have lost three of their previous four games, while the Bucks are seven games over 50% and have been playing some electrifying basketball recently.
Miami is currently in risk because to injuries to their two main scorers and defenders, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. They still have Herro and Lowry as two high-scoring scorers, so the season isn’t over, but the offence has taken a knock. The head coach, Erick Spoelstra, will have to work out rotations to improve both ends of the floor.
The Bucks are on a tear right now, winning 90% of their games in the last 15 days or so. Middleton, Giannis, and Holiday are surrounded by shooters like Connaughton, Allen, and a scorer in Portis, so it’s not surprising. The Bucks are a strong club that has performed admirably even without two players in Donte DiVincenzo and Brook Lopez.
Host: Miami Heat
Visitors: Milwaukee Bucks
Match Timing: 9 December, @ 06:00 AM

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Heat: Suffering
Not only does the Heat’s offence struggle without Butler and Adebayo, but their defence suffers much more. Opponents see opportunities to score 110-120 points, and the Heat hasn’t been able to capitalise on both ends due to a lack of rebounding and defensive smarts. The Heat should expect 60-70 points with Lowry, Herro, and Robinson in a three-guard heavy lineup, but it may take some time to get used to this combination. I feel the Heat can still win if they address their defence right now and get more output from Duncan. It will be more difficult against clubs like the Bucks.
Bucks: They have too many options
Milwaukee’s rotations are built around three all-around scorers in Middleton, Antetokounmpo, and Holiday, who can each score 20 points, as well as role players like Portis, Allen, and Connaughton, who can each score 10-20 points. Milwaukee has depth on both ends, with length, size, athleticism, versatility, and much more to meet the NBA’s high standards. One thing is clear: despite the Bulls and Nets playing fantastic basketball, the Bucks’ depth appears to be more formidable; after all, they are the defending champions for a reason.

NBA Scores, Fantasy Basketball Top Picks
Giannis Antetokounmpo(MIL)
Points: 27
Rebounds: 12
Assists: 02
Blocks: 01
Antetokounmpo is the backbone for this deep team and without him, defending the title is not possible. Stats-wise, you can expect 25-30 points, 10-16 rebounds, and 3-5 assists, 1-2 blocks/steals regularly from the heavily talented player. He is one of the options for Star/Pro Player in the Dream11 NBA fantasy scenario.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 55-75
Kyle Lowry(MIA)
Points: 17
Rebounds: 04
Assists: 08
Steals: 01
Blocks: 01
Lowry’s role expands in the wake of injuries to Butler and Adebayo. That is why the guard has recently figured in the 17-26 points range while dishing 7-10 assists regularly. Can Lowry improve the right now struggling Heat offense?
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 40-55
Jrue Holiday (MIL)
Points: 20
Rebounds: 07
Assists: 08
Steals: 02
No doubt, Holiday overturned the fortunes for the Bucks last season and was a huge part of the championship. The guard has tuned in for 20 or more points thrice in the last five games and 7 or more assists in each game during that window.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 34-44
Tyler Herro(MIA)
Points: 24
Rebounds: 03
Assists: 04
Tyler is a starting-level player who comes off the bench when the starters are healthy. He will start here probably and regardless of whether he starts or not, an 18-25 points range is to expected.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 30-37
Khris Middleton(MIL)
Points: 21
Rebounds: 03
Assists: 08
Khris is as integral as Holiday for this team and his presence alone helps the Bucks out on both ends. The wing has scored 21-22 points in each of the last four games.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 32-39
Duncan Robinson(MIA)
Points: 10
Rebounds: 03
Assists: 01
Steals: 01
Robinson will have to score beyond the 10 points range to bolster the Miami offense which wants more from him. Can Robinson lodge a 15-20 points range in absence of Butler and Adebayo? I think he will!
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 30-38
