(Mandatory Credit: Justin Casterline\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p>The postponed game between the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls, originally set for Jan. 8, was rescheduled to Jan. 29, the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MiamiHEAT\/status\/2010767211254759731?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">team announced <\/a>Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The game will be the first of three consecutive games between the two teams. The inaugural contest will be in Chicago, while the final two will be in Miami.<\/p>\n<p>The originally scheduled Jan. 30 Heat Bulls game will move to the following day to accomodate the rescheduled match. Per the team, the tickets for the Jan. 30 game will be honored on the 31st.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t your grandfather\u2019s NBA, where the scheduling was all out of whack before the player\u2019s association had any leverage in negotiations. Though this is a very unique circumstance for each team.<\/p>\n<p>These three games in four nights mean both will have four games in five nights. Additionally, Miami will have nine games over a 15-night span ahead of the All-Star break, which begins Thursday, Feb. 12.<\/p>\n<p>The Heat and Bulls have squared off just once this season \u2014 a 143-107 Heat win. It was Miami\u2019s fourth time reaching 140 points, a feat it\u2019s recorded seven times this season.<\/p>\n<p>Miami has routinely bested Chicago in the play-in tournament. Well, guess what?! Both teams are projected to meet there again; Miami is currently the No. 8 seed at 20-19, while Chicago is No. 10 at 18-20.<\/p>\n<p>Should the Heat square off with the Bulls in the play-in, it would mark their fourth-straight play-in matchup. <\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>This is a developing news story.
