Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat prediction
The Chicago Bulls beat the Heat on Thursday, but they still have some showing and proving to do. I don’t get the warm and fuzzy feeling from the Bulls and don’t trust them to string together good performances. The Miami Heat are also expected to be healthier for this spot, as Haywood Highsmith and Josh Richardson have been upgraded to probable. We’re not laying much. Give me the Heat and the reasonable line.
