Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls: Analysis and Prediction – Miami Heat will host Chicago Bulls in the NBA.
Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls Odds
Miami Heat Team News
In the previous game, the Miami Heat lost to the Philadelphia 76ers 105:104, with 27 points from Tyler Herro and 19 points from Jimmy Butler. Now they have another chance against the Chicago Bulls if they want to make it to the playoffs.
The Miami Heat again had a weaker part of the league season, both due to injuries and somewhat worse form. They provided excellent resistance to the Philadelphia 76ers, they played the way they know how – extremely hard, but they still didn’t manage to win. The offensive rating indicates that the team from Florida is only the 21st team in the league, and when you take into account the play in or playoff teams, that information comes to the fore even more. Therefore, it is clear that the defense is the only option for Erik Spoelstra’s team. It remains to be seen how the Miami Heat will cope with the injury of Jimmy Butler, the team’s most important player, who, by all accounts, will miss the next game.
The lack of offensive potential, as well as the probable absence of Jimmy Butler suggests that the only recipe is a solid and aggressive game. Another big problem for the Miami Heat is that they allow a lot of assists to their opponents, which they will also have to pay attention to. They are the sixth worst in the league.
Chicago Bulls Team News
The Chicago Bulls beat the Atlanta Hawks 131:116 in the previous game, with a great game by Coby White, who scored 42 points, which is his career record. Now they face a new challenge, against the Miami Heat, one of the toughest teams in the NBA.
The Chicago Bulls had a season full of ups and downs, but in the end they somehow managed to reach the play-in, more because of the extremely bad competition in the Eastern Conference, than real quality. This team has had major injury issues during the season, as Zach LaVine has been out for a while and won’t be there if the Chicago Bulls make the playoffs. This team has big problems on both sides of the court – they are only the 28th team in the league in terms of assists, while allowing the highest percentage of assisted points to rivals. And as such, they manage to win to some extent on the wings of DeMar DeRozan, Coby White and Nikola Vucevic.
The Chicago Bulls are somewhat lucky that in the next match they will have a team that is not so offensively talented and will not be able to take advantage of the weaknesses in the rival’s defense. The good thing about this team is that they control turnovers very well, which they should do against the Miami Heat as well.
