Heat vs Bucks NBA Preview
Kevin Porter Jr. paces the Bucks in all passing categories on the season. However, he's taken it to new heights recently.
Porter was averaging 7.4 assists on 13.9 potential assists and 59 passes per game before his injury back in mid-January.
In seven games since returning to the Bucks' lineup, he's upped that production to 8.4 assists on 14.6 potential assists and 61.7 passes per game.
Heat vs Bucks Predictions, Betting Analysis
Porter has seen a 4.7% assist rate bump with Giannis Antetokounmpo off the floor this season.
That works in his favor again tonight.
The Heat have allowed the fifth-most assists per game on the ninth-highest assisted field goal rate.
