Chicago Bulls +1.5
The Chicago Bulls will take on the Miami Heat tonight on their home court and I like the Bulls and the points in this one.
Chicago is on the 2nd half of the back-to-back, however, I’m not too concerned about that tonight as the Bulls had no trouble blowing out the Orlando Magic last night and none of their starters logged heavy minutes.
Chicago has been solid at home this season, posting a 6-3 record, and have been solid on both ends of the court as they come into this game ranked 13th in scoring offense (108.2 ppg) & 7th in scoring defense (103.8 ppg).
The Heat are just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite. The Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a home underdog & 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games.
Miami will be playing their 4th straight road game tonight (1-2 in their previous games) and as the offense has been struggling during their road trip, averaging just 100.3 ppg during their last three games, I think Chicago will be able to do enough to pick up back-to-back wins and cover this spread.
