Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat Prediction

The Bulls look more and more like a team that doesn’t want to be in the play-in tournament. Their problem is the East is trash, so it probably won’t matter. Even on the end of a back-to-back and injured, this is a game the Heat should win. It’s that simple. The Heat are coming off competitive games against the Cavs and Timberwolves, games they could’ve won with a bounce here or there. Similar effort tonight, and the Heat roll the Bulls. The line is reasonable and I don’t care who sits for the Heat. This is a must-win game for the home team. I’ll lay the points with the Heat.
