Do the Bulls take revenge?

Miami Heat – Statistics & current form

The Florida squad is in fourth place in the East, but has been plagued by injury woes of late. Among others, Bam Adebayo and Victor Oladipo are missing. Franchise player Jimmy Butler was also unable to play and will miss another game against the Bulls.

The absences have also long had a negative impact. Only two of their past six league games have been victorious. In addition, Miami’s home strength has waned: Three of only four season-long defeats in front of home crowds have come in the past four home games.

Small forward Caleb Martin, who has been promoted to the starting five, has stepped into the breach somewhat, as evidenced by a season-high three points (28), rebounds (8) and threes (6) in the last game against the Milwaukee Bucks, but until the personnel situation improves, Miami will only be a top team on paper for now.

Chicago Bulls – Statistics & current form

The visitors are equally shorthanded, however, with their best shooter, DeMar DeRozan, unavailable due to pandemic protocol. However, the Bulls are known to still have a no less accurate player on hand in Zach LaVine.

The shooting guard is averaging just under 26 points per game and ranks seventh in league-wide scoring with that output. In December, his value is even 28.25 points, not least due to the loss of DeRozan.

Chicago can also rely on its away strength: Only the Nets have a higher win rate away from home in the East! However, the best stealer in the NBA in the person of Alex Caruso will not be able to play.

Miami Heat – Chicago Bulls Tip

With the second from Chicago and fourth from Miami, it comes to a top game in the East, but the home side has to deal with several absences, which is why their star has been sinking lately. Although the basketball team from the Windy City is not without its problems from a personnel point of view, they have not been hit quite so badly.

For the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls game, betting tips on more than 29.5 points by Zach LaVine on the Capitals’ side are a good idea in the eyes of the betting public. Last year’s All-Star will have to take on even more work on the offensive end with DeRozan out.

He has generally lived up to those extra duties of late, failing to score at least 30 points in only one of the past three games.
