Marquee teams are suiting up for less-than-marquee matchups tonight. We have a Milwaukee Bucks team without Giannis Antetokounmpo at 7:30 p.m. and a Phoenix Suns team without Kevin Durant at 10 p.m. While the wattage might be a bit dimmed, it should make the games even more competitive and, hopefully entertaining.
The Bucks will face a Miami Heat team that is coming off of losses to the Nets and Bucks, and sitting a half-game behind the New York Knicks for sixth in the Eastern Conference. With new addition Kevin Love on board, the Heat are hoping they can carve out a clear path into the top six and prove themselves to be more than first-round fodder in the playoffs.
