Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat Prediction & Picks - NBA
by Bill Christy in NBA Picks
The Miami Heat will host the Chicago Bulls Friday night in a game that will send the winner to the playoffs to face the #1 seed Boston Celtics while the loser will have their season come to an end. The Heat lost a tough game in Philadelphia on Wednesday night 105-104. However, the loss was made worse by the injury to their star, Jimmy Butler. It is being reported that he has an MCL injury and will miss multiple weeks. He was not only their leading scorer, but also their defensive leader. Bam Adebayo will need to do more than the 10 points he scored in Philly if the Heat are to advance. The Bulls shared a similar fate in their game against the Hawks. It was not as close (131-116) but they also lost a key player to their lineup in Alex Caruso due to an ankle injury. Coby White went off for 42 points in the loss to the Hawks and will certainly need more help in this matchup with a tough Miami defense. These two went 2-2 in their 4-game series against each other. Both going 1-1 at home as well as on the road. However, these games were played in November and December and these teams are much different now.

Our Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat Prediction
The Heat, having lost Butler, is going to have a truly hard time figuring out how to win without him after such a short turnaround. Not only that, but the fact that the loss to the 76ers came after blowing a 16-point lead, will also take its toll on the morale of the Heat. While the Bulls have lost an energy guy in Caruso, it pales in comparison to the loss of Jimmy Buckets. The public is heavily sided with the Heat here which encourages us even more to get on the other side and ride with the Bulls.
Our prediction for Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat: Chicago to cover +1.5, -105 at DraftKings.
