What are the Miami Heat to do on 2-game back to back road trip?

Miami Heat: They should win the first game, but the second will be challenging
The next game on the back-to-back is the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks were on an eight-game win streak before losing to the Raptors.
They are going to be looking to get their streak going again, as they look to climb back higher into the Eastern Conference standings. Miami had blown out Milwaukee in their first game of the season.
Jrue Holiday and Brook Lopez were out for that one, so expect Giannis and the Bucks to show no mercy if they can. Besides Phoenix, they’re the hottest team in the league and I don’t think Miami can do anything to stop it.
Bam is the best-equipped defender to guard Giannis and without him, it could get scary. Milwaukee is eighth in the league in 3 point percentage and with Giannis drawing multiple defenders, their shooters could have target practice.
The main goal for Miami in this game is to compete and come out with no injuries. Don’t just keel over and give up, give them a run for their money.
Make them earn that win, but don’t get injured in the process. Don’t go up for a shot or block that could put you in a situation to get hurt.
The last thing Miami needs on this trip is more injuries. That should be the overall goal for both games, but it would be nice to sneak away with a very winnable game in Indiana.
If they can get back home to Miami fully healthy, that would be a win. Well, because on the other side of that, you imagine a healthy Jimmy will be waiting.
