Bulls at Heat picks and predictionsPrediction
Heat 117, Bulls 113
PASS.
Avoid this play. The Heat (-250) should win outright, but they are too expensive to take on the money, especially short 2 key options on offense.
BET BULLS +6.5 (-115).
The Heat, without Powell and Herro, will struggle to separate themselves by enough to cover. Miami is just 2-4 in games when Powell sits this season. The Heat are 1-2 ATS in their previous 3 home games as well.
The Bulls have been on fire offensively and have scored at least 110 points in 7 straight games. They have covered in 2 straight games as an underdog of 5 or greater. Back BULLS +6.5 (-115).
BET UNDER 233.5 (-110).
The players in street clothes are too much to overlook here. Two of the Bulls’ top 3 scoring options are questionable, and the other has been ruled out. They’ve gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games.
The Heat are 1-2 O/U in their last 3 contests, holding 2 of those foes to 113 points or fewer. Take UNDER 233.5 (-110).
