The Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat will meet at the United Center in the NBA in a crucial match on Wednesday night. The Bulls and Heat have identical 36-43 records and are ninth and 10th in the Eastern Conference, respectively. Let’s get into the match prediction.
While both these sides have already secured their spots in the play-in round, this match could determine who will get the number nine seed and remain in contention to pass the Hawks in eighth.
As it stands, the Heat will have to finish ahead of the Bulls in the standings to secure the ninth seed, with the Bulls owning the tiebreaker by virtue of a 2-0 lead in the three-game season series.
Chicago are in good shape too, winning 12 of their last 17 games, but they did see their three-match win streak halted by the Cavaliers 135-113 on the road last night.
The Bulls are the sixth-highest scoring team in the NBA this season, averaging 117.7 points per game, but they also concede the third-most points, averaging 120.1 PPG against.
Meanwhile, the Miami Heat are ending the season very well, having now won seven of their last nine games, following a comfortable 117-105 victory over the 76ers on Monday night.
The Heat are averaging 110.0 points per game this season (25th in the league), but their major strength lies on the defensive end, where they rank seventh for points against (109.9 PPG).
