LiontipsMiami vs Chicago. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Despite an inconsistent performance in recent matches Heat are still one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. Team is currently at the 4th spot and is trying to break into the Top-3.
In the previous match Miami managed to beat the current champion, Milwaukee (113:104), ending a string of two consecutive defeats. Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo missed this game, so Caleb Martin earned a chance to prove himself and he scored 28 goals, Kyle Lowry also put up a great performance.
Heat players know that it is not the end of their struggles, because now team will play against Chicago. It is a good thing that match will take place at FTX Arena, here Eric Spoelstra's men are trying to play aggressively.
Bulls are trying to catch up to the leader of the Eastern Conference, Brooklyn. Team put up a great performance at the start of the season.
Chicago recorded four consecutive victories, but a previous match showed that there is much work up ahead. Team was crushed by Cleveland (92:115) on the away match. Seems like visitors were not ready for such a great performance from Cleveland, but Zach LaVine and Lonzo Ball played well.
Bulls are one of Top-3 away teams in the Eastern Conference. Billy Donovan's men will try to put up a good performance in Miami, but there are many problems with the squad - Javonte Green, DeMar DeRozan, Matthew Thomas, Coby White and Patrick Williams are on injuried list.

Tip and bets
Chicago are trying to catch up to Brooklyn, but so far the New Yorkers are one step ahead. Billy Donovan's men are approaching a serious challenge, because it will be extremely difficult to record an away victory over the Heat.
Miami needs to improve their performance, if they want to break into the Top-3. Heat will probably try to get advantage out of opponent's injury problems, especially at home and they will have a good chance for a success.
Our prediction - Miami Heat to win (Including OT)
Both opponents are playing defensively and we don't think that in such an important match someone will take the risk and will go all the way ahead. We are not expecting a high-scoring game, so we offer to place a bet on total under.
Our second bet is on total under 215,5 points
