Tonight we get a Bucks vs Heat live stream delivering Game 5 to see if this Miami squad can clinch the semifinal series Of course, as many had written them off going into Game 4, it is possible that Giannis Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee could be back to force another game

This matchup has been one of the more surprising ones in the NBA playoffs The top-seeded Bucks have struggled against the Red Hot Heat They injured their right ankle in Game 3 and were forced to readjust in Game 4

While it has not been ruled out that Giannis will not play tonight, it is questionable how much he can contribute both on offense and defense Milwaukee is hoping that Khris Middleton will step up again after he led the team with 36 points on Sunday

Meanwhile, the Heat will look to Jimmy Butler, who is averaging 25 points in this series, and big man Bam Adebayo (15 average) Miami will also look to shore up its defense against Middleton, who takes over for the injured Giannis
