The 2019/20 National Basketball Association (NBA) conference semi-final action will continue between 4 and 10 September with Milwaukee Bucks facing Miami Heat.
The Bucks progressed to this stage of the competition after defeating Orlando Magic in their First Round tie.
They emerged 4-1 winners as they looked to end their 49-year wait for an NBA championship having won their only title in 1971.
Their key player is Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has enjoyed one of his best seasons in the NBA having won three Player of the Month accolades.

The Greek power forward is known for his combination of size, speed and ball-handling skills and this earned him the nickname 'Greek Freak.'
However, Antetokounmpo, who is the reigning NBA MVP, struggled at the free-throw line as the Bucks lost 115-104 against the Heat in game one of the Eastern Conference semi-final tie.

“Would I want to be more aggressive…obviously,” said Antetokounmpo as he reflected on his performance.
“But I am just trying to make the right play and that was my mindset the whole game. Win or lose, you got to live it.”
Meanwhile, the Heat were also dominant in their First Round tie against Indiana Pacers, who were hapless.

The Heat secured an impressive victory as they ran out 4-0 winners and kept their hopes of winning their fourth NBA championship alive.
They will look to Kendrick Nunn with the shooting guard having caught the eye with some consistent performers for the Heat this season.
Nunn has been named Rookies of the Month three times and he could be key to a Heat win over Bucks in the seven-game playoff series tie.
Lastly, Los Angeles Clippers have booked their place in the Western Conference semi-finals, but they are awaiting the winner between Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz.
Their rivals Los Angeles Lakers are also awaiting the winner between Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets in the Western Conference semi-finals.
While the other Eastern Conference semi-final tie is between Boston Celtics and defending champions Toronto Raptors.
