If there are health questions for each team, coaches often shorten the leash by feel, and the fourth-quarter mix can be different from the opening unit. I prefer the group with a steady pecking order, because the margin gets thin when replacement minutes stack up. For a broader postseason snapshot, see NBA championship odds.

- Game script (pace): The style leans toward Miami Heat trying to press the game, with Milwaukee Bucks looking to steady it and cut down on fast decisions. That initial pace split often follows the total.
- Efficiency edge (side): The longer view tilts toward Miami Heat if it can keep the game tidier and finish defensive possessions. Creating added opportunities can turn the side call.
- Late filters (availability + market): Start with the last availability check, because rotation changes can shift both the side and total read at the finish. If the market shifts, use that as a cue to re-check news rather than pushing the angle.
