Heat vs Bulls Prediction

The Heat and Bulls are playing each other for a third straight time, so there shouldn’t be any surprises, and these teams are probably sick of each other by now. At home and with the health edge, the Heat should be favored. However, the Heat have been hot and cold all season, and I have no idea what to expect game to game. We also just saw the Heat lose to the Bulls despite Chicago missing several key players. Nothing surprises me with this Heat team night to night, but I’m not thrilled to lay points with them. So, it’s Bulls or pass. The Heat are an annoying team to figure out.
