Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat Betting Preview

Bulls Looking For Offense

The Chicago Bulls lines are impacted by their inability to score points this year as they are averaging just 109 points per game. Chicago does have plenty of talent on this roster, but they just haven’t been able to put things together.

DeMar DeRozan leads the way with 22.3 points per game this season, and the team needs him as Zach LaVine is currently out of the lineup. Coby White has been having a huge run of late for this team as well, and his ability to make shots has been a major key.

This Bulls team should be one of the better defensive teams in the league, but they have also been giving up way too many easy scores. The NBA team stats for the Bulls just don’t match up with the talent, and that will be something to watch on the scores and odds moving forward.

Heat Battling Through Injuries

The Miami Heat tend to play too many NBA games without star players, and that is going to be the case on Thursday as well. A handful of key players are currently listed as day-to-day, and it can be expected that some of those players will miss this game.

Bam Adebayo leads the Heat with 22.3 points per game this season, but he is one of the players that can miss this game. That will put a ton of pressure on Jimmy Butler to play well in this game, and he does have a history of stepping up when his team needs it the most.

Shooting is always a concern for the Heat, especially if Tyler Herro isn’t able to play against the Bulls. Miami is another team that wants to try to defend, but they are playing a Bulls team that will be aggressive on offense.

Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat Betting Picks

After checking out the Heat vs Bulls odds on Thursday night, there are going to be a couple of wagers that you should make. The home team will ultimately control one of the most interesting NBA matchups of the night.

Both teams did not live up to NBA in-tournament odds this season, but that no longer matters as the event is over. Chicago has actually been playing much better of late, and they should be able to keep this game relatively close.

The Miami Heat schedule has been tough and fatigue will start to play a factor. Look for these teams to go over the total line of 217.5, and also bet on the Heat to survive with a win at home.

• Pick 1: Over 217.5
• Pick 2: Miami Heat ML
