Can the Miami Heat prevail against the returning Giannis Antetokounmpo?

During Game 1 of the first-round matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat, Giannis Antetokounmpo made an early exit due to a back injury. While this was concerning for Milwaukee, Miami took advantage of the situation and secured a 2-1 lead in their first three games.

Unfortunately for the Heat, the "Greek Freak" returned Monday and is definitely itching to get his team back on track. Giannis is once again one of the MVP candidates this season, meaning Miami will face the Milwaukee star at his best. While the Bucks were able to win despite Antetokounmpo's absence in Game 2, they need him to consistently secure victory.

However, Jimmy Butler has been living up to his "Buckets" nickname in this series. In the past three games, Butler has averaged 30.0 points, 6.0 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 2.3 steals. It's clear that Jimmy is locked in and determined to come up with one of the biggest upsets in playoff history.

The battle right now will be between the elite Giannis Antetokounmpo and the underdog Jimmy Butler.
