The 2025 NBA preseason continues on Monday, with six games on the schedule, including the Milwaukee Bucks vs. Miami Heat. The Bucks made a slight overhaul on their roster this offseason, while the Heat acquired Norman Powell to bolster their offense.
Milwaukee's biggest move of the summer was waiving Damian Lillard to create cap space to sign Myles Turner, Cole Anthony and Gary Harris. Giannis Antetokounmpo stayed put after months of rumors about his future with the franchise.
On the other hand, the Heat added Powell and Simone Fontecchio via trade. They also brought back Davion Mitchell in free agency. The biggest news of the offseason was Tyler Herro's surgery that ruled him out at the start of the new season.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Miami Heat Preview
The Milwaukee Bucks are making their preseason debut on Monday. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Cole Anthony are considered day-to-day due to injuries. Antetokounmpo is slowly ramping up his conditioning after battling COVID-19 in Greece.
Anthony is dealing with an unspecified injury, and there's no update on his return to practice. It will be interesting to see how coach Doc Rivers starts the preseason. Rivers already told Kyle Kuzma he doesn't want him taking a lot of shots, while Kevin Porter Jr. looks poised to be named a starter.
On the other hand, the Miami Heat lost their first preseason game on Friday against the Orlando Magic. The Heat played the game without a proper point guard due to injuries to Terry Rozier and Davion Mitchell. Jaime Jaquez Jr. served as a playmaker, finishing with three assists.
Bam Adebayo is capable of being a point center, but coach Erik Spoelstra will likely continue experimenting with his lineups and rotations. The Heat have an advantage heading into the season since they didn't make a lot of changes to their roster.
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Miami Heat Predicted Starting Lineups
Bucks
G - Kevin Porter Jr. | G - Gary Trent Jr. | F - Kyle Kuzma | F - Bobby Portis | C - Myles Turner

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Miami Heat Prediction
