The Miami Heat had a successful season last year, posting the top record in the East and making it to the conference finals. However, they have been underperforming this season, and now stand to miss out on playoffs entirely with a loss against the visiting Chicago Bulls on Friday. The Bulls should be feeling confident going into the play-in round since they are undefeated (3-0) against Miami in the regular season – including two wins at Miami itself. It is going to be an exciting battle for the final spot in Eastern Conference playoffs!
Miami is questionable with Kyle Lowry as he is managing a left knee soreness. Jimmy Butler is also dealing with a personal matter, but he is probable for tonight’s game. All in all, the Bulls seem to have the momentum here, especially with their win against the Raptors. I like the Chicago Bulls here at +5 ½ for my free pick of the day. Trends, Injuries and Stats are pointing towards Chicago to cover the spread. To find theses odds and a more in-depth analysis, visit LVSB.com.
