Tonight we get a Bucks vs Heat live stream delivering Game 5 to see if this Miami squad can clinch the semifinal series. Of course, as many had written them off going into Game 4, it is possible that Giannis Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee could be back to force another game.

This matchup has been one of the more surprising ones in the NBA playoffs. The top-seeded Bucks have struggled against the Red Hot Heat. They injured their right ankle in Game 3 and were forced to readjust in Game 4.

While it has not been ruled out that Giannis will not play tonight, it is questionable how much he can contribute both on offense and defense. Milwaukee is hoping that Khris Middleton will step up again after he led the team with 36 points on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Heat will look to Jimmy Butler, who is averaging 25 points in this series, and big man Bam Adebayo (15 average). Miami will also look to shore up its defense against Middleton, who takes over for the injured Giannis.

So here is everything you need to watch the Bucks vs. Heat live stream of Game 5.

If you've left your own "bubble" - or you've suffered the dreaded local blackout - you're not out of luck if you can't watch the Bucks vs. Heat live stream on cable. With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can pretend you're surfing the web from your hometown (or anywhere else not hit by a blackout) and access the same streaming services you've already paid for.

Not sure which VPN is right for you? After testing a variety of services, the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers great speed and excellent customer service. However, there are other VPN options out there. Here are our top picks.

In the US, Game 5 between the Bucks and Heat begins today, Tuesday, September 8, at 6:30 PM ET on TNT. Other NBA playoff games will be broadcast on TNT and ESPN.

If you haven't already cut the cord and have a cable package, your best bet for tonight is sports fans' favorite fuboTV -- which has ABC and ESPN (but it doesn't have TNT). Sling TV, on the other hand, has ESPN and TNT.

They are two of our best streaming service list picks; both ESPN and TNT are included in the $30 Sling Orange package. Other NBA 2020 playoff games will be broadcast on ABC, so you'll need one of the best TV antennas or Fubo to access the broadcast channels (Sling doesn't have ABC).

UK basketball fans will need to stay up a little later as the Bucks vs. Heat live stream starts at 11:30 PM BST. The game will be broadcast on Sky Sports, and those who don't have Sky Sports can watch it on Now TV starting at £9.99.

The NBA League Pass is also available in the UK and will cost £42.99 for the rest of the year, allowing you to watch all games without blackouts.
