NBA Odds: Bulls-Heat prediction, odds and pick

The Chicago Bulls (11-18) visit the Miami Heat (16-15) on Tuesday night at 7:40 pm ET. Chicago has lost four straight games and is 11th in the Eastern Conference. Miami has won four consecutive games to bump them into seventh place in East. This will be the second of three meetings between the two teams.

The Bulls are average in almost every aspect of the game. They rank 15th in scoring and 22nd in offensive rating. Chicago is slightly below average defensively. DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine need to play well to cover the spread. Ayo Dosunmu is a critical x-factor for the Bulls. He's shooting over 50% from the point guard position and his minutes have been going down in his second season. The Bulls have won 7-2 this season when he plays more than 30 minutes.

Miami has won four straight games. Jimmy Butler is expected to play, while Kyle Lowry is listed as questionable. The Heat have a trio of scorers who average 20+ points per game. Tyler Herro is a good scorer and a very efficient player. Bam Adebayo is one of the best all-around big men in the league. Miami can cover the spread because of their advantage down low.

The Bulls and the Heat are going to meet in the NBA Finals.

The final NBA prediction and pick is Miami Heat -4.
