The Milwaukee Bucks will be without guard Malcolm Brogdon and will start Tony Snell instead when they take on the Miami Heat at AmericanAirlines Arena.
According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Malcolm Brogdon has been ruled out due to his hamstring issue. The 26-year-old guard has missed some time due to a hamstring injury, so the Bucks are being cautious over his health.
Tony Snell is confirmed to replace Brogdon in the starting lineup, having already started in three games for the Bucks this campaign.
Bucks confirm what was previously in their game notes: Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) is out tonight.

Brogdon is averaging 15.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists per contest for the Bucks this year. He is also one of the team's most efficient players, shooting 50.6 percent from the field, 44.7 percent from deep and 98.0 percent from the charity stripe.
Fortunately for the Bucks, guard depth is something they are not lacking. Snell has been solid for them so far, putting up 6.8 points while shooting 46.3 percent overall and 39.6 percent from 3-point territory.
They also have newly acquired George Hill who can provide them with quality minutes off the bench. Hill, who played in 13 games for the Cleveland Cavaliers this year, is averaging 8.8 points, 2.2 boards and 2.4 assists on the season.
