The Miami Heat (20-7) will look to rebound from a tough loss when they take on the Milwaukee Bucks (15-12) at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Saturday night.  The matchup against the pesky Bucks will feature the return of Dwyane Wade from a one-game suspension.

Wade's presence was clearly missed on Friday night as the Heat's winning streak came to a screeching halt.  The superstar was limited to the sidelines after allegedly kicking Ramon Sessions in the groin in Wednesday's win against the Charlotte Bobcats.

Minus Wade, Miami ended up losing to the Detroit Pistons by a score of 109-99.  Prior to the loss, the Heat continued to voice their disagreement over its player's suspension.

Wade himself also took to Twitter in order to defend himself in terms of the controversial incident.

"With the whole video, it could be taken any kind of way.  Like I said, I've made my statement and I'm looking forward to moving on and getting ready for (Saturday) night," he said.

 "(Wade's absence) no excuse.  We still had enough.  Obviously, we're a different team with Dwyane, but we have enough depth that we should be able to overcome missing one guy for a night, coach Erik Spolestra told ESPN.

In Wade's most recent game at the Bradley Center on Feb. 13, he put up 22 points along with 35 from LeBron James to give the Heat a 114-96 victory.

In Milwaukee's last seven contests, it has alternated wins and losses, which is a rhythm they'll be looking to put a stop to after recently prevailing against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night.
