The Bucks come into tonight’s game with a 31-46 overall record and an 11-27 mark on the road. According to latest NBA trends, the under is 48-29 in all Milwaukee games this season, and 17-21 when the Bucks have played on the road.

NBA Free Pick: The Heat have won three straight games and eight of their last nine, including Sunday’s win over the Nets in New Jersey. LeBron James had 31 points and 11 rebounds against the Nets, and Chris Bosh has averaged 22.0 points and 8.7 rebounds in his last three games. The Bucks are just 1-5 against the spread in their last six games after scoring less than 75 points in their previous contest and as long as the Heat don’t overlook yet another inferior opponent, Miami should roll tonight.
