The 17-20 Chicago Bulls will welcome the 20-17 Miami Heat to the United Center for NBA action early on Friday morning. Ahead of making a prediction on the match, the Bulls are 10th in the East while the Heat are 8th.
The Bulls are back home for a pair after games on the road in Boston and Detroit. They’ve lost three straight, with the Pistons game coming just last night. They were 3-3 on their last homestand, taking their record to 10-9 on their own court this season.
One of those nine defeats came at the hands of this Heat squad who put up 143 on them, a 36-point loss which is their heaviest of the season. Offensively they have gone missing of late which has proven to be a serious concern.
The Heat have won five of their last seven coming in, both of the losses against the Minnesota Timberwolves. They are 7-11 on the road after that latest loss, with their home form keeping them in the playoff hunt.
This is game two of a four-game road swing for them, a winnable game in Indiana next up before a trip to the league-leading Oklahoma City Thunder. That makes this the key game if it is to be a successful trip.
