That applies both for the collective performance level as the Bucks try to work their way back to the impeccably high standards they had reached and sustained before the season’s suspension, but also the shape of the lineups and rotation that Mike Budenholzer opts to run with.

With all of that in mind, let’s take a closer look at three key elements worth watching out for as the Bucks and Heat go head-to-head on Thursday.
