The Miami Heat pay a visit to the Chicago Bulls at the United Center on Tuesday night. Here’s a Bulls vs Heat Prediction. This article will include a Bulls vs Heat Pick.

Miami Heat

The Miami Heat have been in decent shape as they’ve won three of their past four games overall and they will be looking to build some momentum after outlasting the Spurs in a 105-103 road win on Saturday. Bam Adebayo led the team with 30 points, 12 rebounds, and nine assists on 13 of 21 shooting, Terry Rozier added 19 points, seven rebounds, and four assists while Nikola Jovic chipped in with 14 points, seven rebounds, and four assists. As a team, the Heat shot 46 percent from the field and 13 of 42 from the 3-point line as they battled with the Spurs in a tight contest that looked headed for overtime until Adebayo drained the game-winner at the buzzer to rescue the day. The Heat will meet the 76ers and Nets after this game.

Chicago Bulls

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been doing it tough as they’ve lost nine of their last 12 games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back after falling short to the Pistons in a 127-119 road defeat on Sunday. Coby White led the team with 22 points, Nikola Vucevic racked up a triple-double of 20 points with 11 rebounds and 10 assists while Josh Giddey chipped in with 20 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists. As a team, the Bulls shot 46 percent from the field and 19 of 52 from the 3-point line as they struggled to match the Pistons early on and were always playing from behind after scoring just 19 points in the second quarter falling into an early 17-point deficit.

Why the Chicago Bulls will win

  • The Bulls have won eight of their last nine games as underdogs against Southeast Division opponents following a loss.
  • The Heat have lost each of their last four games as favorites against Central Division opponents.
  • The Heat have failed to cover the spread in each of their last 12 games as favorites against Central Division opponents following a win.
  • The underdogs have covered the spread in each of the Bulls’ last six games at United Center.

Why the Miami Heat will win

  • The Bulls have lost each of their last seven home games when playing with a rest disadvantage.
  • The Heat have won seven of their last eight games at United Center following a road win.
  • The Bulls have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four games as home underdogs against opponents who are on the first leg of a back-to-back.
  • The Heat have covered the spread in six of their last seven games on the first leg of a back-to-back against the Bulls.

Total Points Facts

  • Each of the Heat’s last seven games as favorites against opponents who are on the first leg of a back-to-back has gone OVER the total points line.
  • Seven of the Bulls’ last eight games as home underdogs following a road loss have gone OVER the total points line.

Bulls vs Heat Prediction

The Heat are still missing Josh Richardson and Dru Smith, while the Bulls are keeping an eye on Jalen Smith, Adama Sanogo, and Dalen Terry who are all questionable. The Heat have been able to keep their heads above water with three wins in their past four games despite all the Jimmy Butler drama and they would love to keep it going against this struggling Bulls squad who just shipped off Zach LaVine. The Bulls are capable of pulling off the upset at home despite their lack of form, but with the line so short, I like the Heat to continue their run with another win and cover here.
