Miami Heat DFS Spin
Bam Adebayo (left hamstring strain) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Bucks. Adebayo went into Monday’s game probable and still suited up to assist in Jimmy Butler’s monster game. With a chance to close out the series and pull off the upset, Adebayo should be on the court come Game 5.
Milwaukee Bucks DFS Spin
Giannis Antetokounmpo is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Heat with a lower back contusion. Giannis played 38 minutes in his return to action on Monday, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Bucks from falling into a 3-1 hole. Given the status, he should be on the court in his usual role as Milwaukee looks to stave off elimination at home. Bobby Portis took a significant hit with Antetokounmpo back in the lineup for Game 4, but he’s been a dependable reserve for most of this season.
