Bulls vs Heat Betting Predictions, Picks
Heat Moneyline
We will ride with the home team in this matchup. Miami has been trending in the right direction lately, and I expect that momentum to carry over into tonight’s game.
The Heat have been sharper defensively and more efficient late in games during this recent stretch.
The Bulls have struggled on the road this season, posting an 8-14 record away from Chicago, and their inability to consistently get stops could be the difference here. That edge makes Miami the preferred side.
Matas Buzelis 18+ Points
We will also team up with our Action Pro Report for this player prop.
Buzelis is expected to see an expanded offensive role due to key injuries in the Bulls’ rotation, giving him more usage and scoring opportunities.
Our Action Pro Report projects Buzelis for 20.3 points tonight, which puts him in a strong position to clear the 18-point mark.
