Jrue Holiday proves he is the key for the Bucks’ success:

You know what you are going to get from Giannis Antetokounmpo if you are the Bucks and you hope that Khris Middleton can average around 20 points per game like he did during the regular season, but Jrue Holiday is going to be the key for them not just in this series, but through however long their playoff run is.

The Bucks gave up a lot to get Jrue Holiday prior to the start of this season and all season long, he has been one of the focal points of their offense. He has not only taken a ton of pressure off of Giannis, but he has helped make Khris Middleton more of an offensive threat because of the attention Holiday draws in. 

Not to mention, Jrue Holiday is one of the better one-on-one perimeter defenders in the league and will likely be able to help on Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro in this series against the Heat, hopefully for the Bucks sake, giving them an edge on that end of the court. 

Both offensively and defensively, Holiday is going to look to put his imprint on this series against the Miami Heat and if he can put together some 20+ point performances offensively and take advantage of the young Heat perimeter players defensively, then the Bucks will likely win this series and thrive in the NBA playoffs.
