Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat Prediction
The Heat just beat the Bulls on the road a couple of days ago and now get them at home. While the Heat run hot and cold, the Bulls have nearly their entire rotation on the injury report. At the time of this writing, it’s impossible to back the Bulls with confidence without clarity of who is playing and who isn’t. Besides, the Bulls have 14 road losses this season. Assuming the Bulls are heavily undermanned, this has the potential to get ugly. I’ll lay the points with the Heat.
