Bulls vs Heat Prediction
The Heat get Bam back but won’t have Jovic or Wiggins. Those are big blows, but I’m still going to grab the free bucket. The Bulls have cooled off greatly from a hot start, and I’ve said before the Heat as an underdog has value. With the way the Heat are playing offensively, they have a chance every night regardless of who is on the court. The Heat push the pace, everybody contributes offensively, and they’re still top-five in field goal and three point percentage defense. The Bulls are 2-2 SU and 1-3 ATS in their four games as a favorite this month. I like the Heat in this spot.
