Heat vs. Bulls

The Eastern Conference leader is the Boston Celtics with the Heat a half-game back and Chicago three out. The Bulls played in some of the best NBA games of all time when Michael Jordan was in Chicago . The new look Bulls are trying to find some of that luster again this season. They match up against the Miami Heat on Thursday night at the United Center , where they are 25 4 SU and 18 9 2 ATS. The Bulls score an average of 99.9 points on offense and allow opponents just 89.9 points on defense. The betting total goes under 17 times out of 29. Chicago allows opponents a 41.3% field goal percentage and 33.3% three-point percentage. They are the best home team in the league when it comes to limiting opponents assists. The Heat has trouble passing the ball as it is with Wade, James, and Bosh fighting for shots. It could be a long night if the Heat cannot make shots and rebound.

The Miami Heat is 21 10 SU and 18 12 1 ATS on the road this season. They average 100.8 on offense and allow opponents 94.9 points on defense. The betting total has gone over 16 times out of 31. Miami is the best team in the league at defending shots on the road this season. Opponents make just 42.7% of their shots, 34.1% of three-pointers, and 73.4%. The Heat struggles against the elite teams in the league. They are winless against the Bulls, Celtics, and Mavericks this season. The last time these two teams met, Chicago won 99 96 on a Kyle Korver three-pointer at the buzzer. Neither team shot the ball well from the field, which we expect since these teams rank #1 and #2 in defensive field goal percentages.

The Heat did shoot 46.4% from three-point range and still lose. The difference in the game was the Bulls turning the ball over less than 10 times and out rebounded the Heat 42 to 30. The Heat committed 20 personal fouls and the Bulls only 14 in the last meeting, so look for the favorable whistles tonight. They are going to need it to make this game close. Do not let what happened yesterday in Toronto fool you. The Bulls are a different team at home than on the road, so expect a physically tough game that wears down the soft Heat squad by the end of the game. Should be a close game but the Bulls are 11 3 as a home underdog of 3 points or less.

There is a good chance that these two teams matchup in the basketball playoffs 2010.
