Giannis Antekounmpo got back on the court in Game 4 but that was not enough since Jimmy Butler had a historic performance dropping 56 points. Now, the Greek Freak will need to take over the spotlight and bring his team back into the series.

Prediction 1: Milwaukee Bucks to Cover the Spread (-11.5)

The Milwaukee Bucks have no choice but to go full speed tonight at home. They are in a deep hole but this team has a winning character and still stand a chance to get back in the series. With Giannis Antetokounmpo back in the lineup, the Bucks are ready to get it rolling from the tip-off. This game will not just allow them just to get back in the series, but they will win by more than 11.5 points to get the momentum that will be much needed when the series moves back to Miami.

Prediction 2: Khris Middleton under 19.5 points

Middleton is the player who needs to take on some of the scoring on the Bucks team since Antetokounmpo is still not fully recovered from the back injury. Middleton is a great shooter who is often guarded by weaker defenders such as Gabe Vincent or Duncan Robinson. He scored only 14 points on 33% shooting from the field in the last game but had 33 in the opening game of the series. Going back home, Middleton will find his rhythm and go over 19.5 tonight.
