Heat at Bulls picks and predictions
Prediction
Heat 110, Bulls 105
Moneyline
BET HEAT (-115.
While Miami may have lost Saturday, the Heat are 4-1 over their last 5 road games. They lost by 5 despite having more turnovers, fewer offensive rebounds and shooting a lower percentage from three. Any of those could swing the game in their favor on Monday.
The Bulls are 2-3 straight up over their last 5 home games, losing back-to-back home games to the Orlando Magic. They have scored fewer than 100 in 2 of their last 3 games. Expect the Heat to be more efficient and the Bulls to not keep pace.
Take HEAT (-115).
Against the spread
PASS.
The weekend matchup between these 2 teams was close, and it should take the stress out of a close game playing Miami on the moneyline.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 210.5 (-110).
The Bulls are 4-4 O/U over their last 8 games. They have allowed at least 108 points in 5 of their last 8 games. With that in mind, both teams shot under 45% from the field Saturday and should be better Monday.
The Heat are 2-2 O/U over their last 4 games and have tallied at least 110 points in 4 of their last 5 games. Expect a better offensive showing from both sides and take OVER 208.5 (-110).
