Chicago has won all three meetings this season, including 119-111 last Wednesday when the Bulls were playing a back-to-back and a third game in four days. The Bulls have won six of their past seven, and arguably are playing the best they have all season. Miami stumbled into the play-in tournament as it often does and the Heat have lost four of six, including 119-118 to lowly Washington in their regular-season finale. Chicago has won seven of eight home games and six straight overall against Southeast Division opponents. The Bulls are on a 9-1 ATS run versus the Eastern Conference and they are a small favorite in this matchup. Take the Bulls on the moneyline.
