What TV channel is Bucks-Heat Game 5 on tonight? Live stream, how to watch online, TV, time
The Milwaukee Bucks, who earned home-court advantage in the first round of the NBA playoffs, risk having their season end Wednesday, April 26 on their home floors against the Miami Heat. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).
Milwaukee has never rallied from a 3-1 deficit in 10 previous tries. Now the Bucks are trying to avoid becoming the fourth No. 1 overall seed in the NBA playoffs — in a format used since 1984 — to go out in Round 1, joining Chicago (2012), Dallas in 2007 and Seattle in 1994.
The Heat are one win away from becoming the sixth No. 8 seed to win in the opening round and first since Philadelphia knocked off Chicago in 2012. Those 76ers had now-Bucks guard Jrue Holiday.
Jimmy Butler is coming his 56-point night for the Heat.
Meanwhile, Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo had a triple-double in his return from a lower back contusion, but needed treatment after Game 4. The Bucks didn’t leave the arena in Miami until around three hours after the game — an unusually late departure for a team with a flight to catch. Antetokounmpo was listed as probable on the injury report that was released Tuesday.

The Heat and Bucks play at 8:30 p.m. (9:30 p.m. ET) on Wednesday, April 26.
