The big news for this game is that Giannis Antetokounmpo (wrist) is listed as doubtful. They Bucks are 6-5 in games that he has missed this season, with two of those losses coming against the Heat in Miami. Getting Bobby Portis (knee) back should help, but he could be rusty after having sat out for a month. The only player of note for the Heat who is even on the injury report is Kyle Lowry (knee), who has been ruled out. With the Heat being in a better situation on the injury front, the Bucks will be fighting an uphill battle.
Vincent has been scoring well of late, but he also has been playing heavy minutes with the Heat short-handed at guard because of injuries to Tyler Herro and Victor Oladipo. They are both back tonight, so I'd think Vincent's shot attempts and minutes both drop a fair amount. He averages 10.0 ppg on the year.
Bit surprised this isn't a pick'em Friday as the Bucks almost surely will be without Giannis Antetokounmpo (and sharpshooter Pat Connaughton). When Milwaukee played back-to-back games in South Florida without the Freak earlier this season, they lost both pretty convincingly. Yeah, Bobby Portis is back for the Deer, but the Heat are full strength -- other than Kyle Lowry, who frankly isn't very good any longer -- and will debut Kevin Love.
