Latest matches of Chicago were quite high-scoring. Heat average 111 points per game at home, while the Bulls score 114 per game on away. In the most recent head-to-head game teams managed to beat the total of 225 points. We are expecting another high-scoring game here.
Our prediction - total under 223,5 points
Miami Heat are considered favorite of the upcoming match by the bookmakers. But we are expecting a surprise here. The Bulls are in a poor form now, but Chicago had no five-game losing streaks in the current season. The Bulls should be able to put an end to their four-game losing run in the game against the Heat.
Our second bet is on Chicago to win
