Miami vs Chicago Prediction: the Bulls to Take Advantage of the Heat's Troubles

Prediction for the NBA match between Miami vs Chicago, which will take place on December 15th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Heat are a systematic team, and even injuries to their leaders usually don't affect their results. The loss of Bam Adebayo was no exception. Orlando Robinson and Thomas Bryant are filling in nicely for the leading big man, and Miami continues to rack up wins. The Heat played their last two games against Charlotte and defeated the Eastern underdog - 116-114 away and 115-104 at home.

The Bulls, with or without their leaders, don't look like a team that can reach tournament aims. Chicago recently had a four-game winning streak, but only Milwaukee was a powerful opponent during that stretch. The Bulls lost to the same Bucks, as well as to Denver, in their last game. 106-114 - the Nuggets, without Jamal Murray, built a lead in the third quarter and then ran away with the victory in the fourth.

Miami will be playing back-to-back games and will likely be without Bam Adebayo, so it's unlikely they'll play to their full defensive potential. Especially lately, since Bam's injury, the Heat have rarely been able to do that. Therefore, Chicago can at least score more than their season bar of 109.1 points. We will go with the Bulls' individual TO and risk a Chicago plus handicap.
