So Giannis still doubtful at the moment for game 2
I don’t believe him playing or not playing changes the Heat’s starting lineup idea tonight, but it does shift the defensive structure obviously
Will be interesting to see the fluctuating coverages – 1:18 PM

Heat preparing for a barrage of three-point attempts from Bucks, especially if Giannis is out tonight.
Spoelstra: “I believe in one of the games, they basically shot 50 threes against us in a game that Giannis didn’t play. But regardless, they average over 40 threes a game.” – 1:10 PM

Especially if Giannis is out, Wes Matthews being out with that calf issue as well is big. Bucks don’t have many guys left who can guard Butler and Matthews was one of them. – 7:29 PM
