Monday my free play was on the Heat and the Bucks to hold Under the total and despite Jimmy Butler putting pretty much every shot he took through the hoop, Game One did indeed hold Under the total.
Let's play the Under again here on Wednesday in Game Two.
With Monday's Under, Miami is now on a 5-1 Under run in the playoffs as they knocked off the Pacers in 5 games while holding Indiana to just about 102 points per game. The defense saw them hold Milwaukee to just 104 in Monday win which is well below the Bucks 118.5 points per game average.
Expect a better job on the defensive end from Milwaukee in this second game, as they were among the best in the league in team defense as they have held teams to a 108+ points per game outout.
The Under is now 8-3 Under the last 11 times these Eastern Conference rivals have faced one another.
Bucks buck up tonight on "D" after allowing Butler and his Heat to post 115 points on Monday.
Heat-Bucks Under on Wednesday.
2* MIAMI-MILWAUKEE UNDER

Free play for Wednesday on the Cardinals and the Reds to keep the bats swinging and the runs scoring.
Last night St. Louis scored 16 times as they played their 3rd straight game Over the total. The Cards also happen to be on a 4-1 Over run their last 5 games played this season.
The Reds have done their part too, as Cincy has played their last 4 Over the total and the Over is 6-2 for their last 8 games contested.
Rookie Johan Oviedo will be making just his third career start for the Cardinals, while Tyler Mahle will counter for the Reds.
You just get the feeling that with the runs adding up from both teams, Oviedo and Mahle are not the ones you want out on the hill to slow down the offensive attacks.
I will side with both teams to be able to muster enough runs to send this Wednesday affair back to the Over column.
2* ST. LOUIS-CINCINNATI OVER

They don't call it the "Wild West" for nothing....that is exactly what this Avalanche-Stars series has turned out to be as we head to the ice here on Wednesday for Game Six of this series.
The goals have been fast and furious, as Colorado netted 5 in the first period alone on Monday en-route to a 6-3 series-saving win. Through 5 games, the Avs have scored 21 goals. Their star player Nathan MacKinnon has recorded a point in each of Colorado's postseason games and a point tonight would tie him with all-time greats Mark Messier and Bobby Orr with 14 straight playoff games having recorded a goal or an assist - the second-longest streak in NHL history. Incidentally, Bryan Trottier is at the top of the list with 18 straight points in 18 games.
All 5 of the games played in this semifinal series have landed Over the total, as Colorado comes into this game having played Over the total in 8 straight postseason affairs!
Dallas is not too far behind, as the Stars have landed Over in 6 straight and in 8 of their last 10 played in Edmonton this postseason. The Stars also will have the luxury - if that is what you want to call it - of not having to face starting goalie Philipp Grubauer who left early in this series with an injury and has not returned. Backup Pavel Francouz was deemed "unfit" to play on Monday and it is not known if he will be between the pipes tonight. Michael Hutchinson was the surprise starter for Monday's elimination game and he did just enough to keep the Colorado season on life-support.
I don't really care who minds the net in this game, I have a feeling we are going to see the goals add up once again in this wild, wild west shootout. Colorado-Dallas Over the total.
3* COLORADO-DALLAS OVER
