Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is struggling against the Miami Heat folks.

The reigning MVP was below average in the Bucks' Game 1 loss and he didn't start Game 2 that well either.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is going to have to hit jump shots in their series, otherwise the Heat are going to win. Miami's defense is very elite and the team is basically packing the paint against Antetokounmpo and daring him to beat them from the outside.

If Antetokounmpo and the Bucks lose Game 2, they will face the daunting task of winning four games in a row, which is highly unlikely to happen against a great team such as the Heat.
