NBA Play-In Tournament: Chicago Bulls at Miami Heat odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Chicago Bulls at Miami Heat odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago Bulls (40-43) meet the Miami Heat (46-37) in an NBA Eastern Conference Play-In Game. Tip-off at Kaseya Center is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Bulls vs. Heat odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The winner will earn the 8th seed in the East and will face top-seeded Boston in a best-of-7 1st-round series, while the loser will head home for the offseason.

Season series: Tied 2-2

These teams not only split their 4-game regular-season series, but Chicago and Miami each won one on the other’s home court. However, the Bulls hold a 3-1 against-the-spread (ATS) edge in the 4 games. Plus, Chicago has a healthy 6-2 ATS mark in the previous 8 head-to-head meetings, going 3-1 ATS last season, too.

The Over has cashed in each of the past 3 meetings in the series, including both battles in South Florida.

The big news for Miami is on the injury front, as leading scorer F Jimmy Butler (knee) is out indefinitely. Butler was injured in Wednesday’s 105-104 play-in game loss at Philadelphia. He played the final 3 quarters after suffering a knee injury and finished with 19 points. After an MRI Thursday, it was determined he has an injury to the medial collateral ligament (MCL) in his right knee and he is expected to miss several weeks.

Chicago won 131-116 in its play-in game vs. the Atlanta Hawks Wednesday, cashing as a 3-point favorite as the Over (223) easily connected. The Over has hit in 5 straight games for the Bulls.

Bulls at Heat picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 107, Heat 105

Moneyline

The BULLS (+105) are worth a look as short underdogs on the road. First off, Chicago has already won in Miami this season, and the Heat are in a world of hurt after losing Jimmy Buckets to the knee injury.

Chicago looked awfully good taking care of Atlanta at home in the play-in game Wednesday, and the Bulls have won 3 of the past 4 outings.

Against the spread

There isn’t a ton of reason to back the Bulls +2.5 (-115) catching the points, unless you’re absolutely adamant that the Heat will win, but only by 2 points.

Chicago enters on a 4-0 ATS streak, and it has covered 6 of the past 8 meetings against Miami.

PASS.

Over/Under

OVER 205.5 (-110) is a strong play, even if Miami is missing Butler, who tied with G Tyler Herro as the team’s leading scorer at 20.8 points per game.

Miami still has plenty of players like Herro, C Bam Adebayo (19.3 PPG, 10.4 RPB) and F Duncan Robinson (12.9 PPG) to get the job done offensively. The Heat cashed the Over (208.5) against the 76ers Wednesday but just barely — by a hook (a half point). The Over has hit in 3 straight, and 11 of the past 12 games for the Heat since March 29.

For Chicago, the Over (223) was never in question Wednesday against Atlanta, and the total has gone high in 5 straight outings. The Bulls are good for 117 or more points in each game, and 127 or more points in 3 of the past 4, while conceding 116 or more points across 4 of the past 5 contests.

Prediction

Knicks 114, Bulls 106

Moneyline

PASS.

The Knicks (-190) spread presents a better chance at profit.

BET KNICKS -4.5 (-110).

New York has covered the spread in 6 of its last 9 games and is 4-2 ATS in its last 6 as a favorite.

Bulls at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Magic 111, Bulls 107

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Magic (-300), who have won 3 of their last 4 games, to beat a Chicago squad that is dealing with injuries and is 3-5 in its last 8.

Against the spread

BET BULLS +7.5 (-115).

Chicago has covered the spread in 2 of its last 3 games at home, including each of its last 2 as an underdog.

Orlando has failed to covered in 2 of its last 3 games and 5 of its last 7. It is coming off a tough loss against a Charlotte team that has performed poorly this season (19-58 straight up).

Over/Under

BET OVER 210.5 (-110).

Chicago has scored 108 or more points in 3 of its last 4 games and 8 of its last 10. It has allowed 107 or more points in 6 of its last 9.

Orlando has hit the Over in each of its last 2 games and scored 115 or more points in 3 of its last 4. It has scored 107 or more points in 7 of its last 10 and allowed 108 or more in back-to-back games.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago Bulls (36-40) welcome the New York Knicks (45-31) to the United Center Friday. Tip is set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Knicks vs. Bulls odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Knicks lead 1-0

The Knicks beat the Bulls 116-100 in New York on Jan. 3, covering as an 8-point home favorite. Including Friday, these teams will play 3 times in the next 2 weeks.

New York is coming off a 120-109 home win over the Sacramento Kings Thursday, covering as a 4-point favorite. The Knicks have lost 3 of their last 4 yet have won 4 of their last 7 and covered in 5 of those 7. New York is 40-33-3 against the spread (ATS) on the season.

The Bulls lost 113-101 to the Atlanta Hawks Monday, failing to cover as a 2-point home favorite. They have lost 5 of their last 7 games and are 2-5 ATS in that stretch. Chicago is 37-38-1 ATS on the season. It is led by F DeMar DeRozan, who is averaging 23.6 points per game.

Knicks at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 108, Knicks 106

Moneyline

BET BULLS (-118).

The Knicks shot 55% from the field against Sacramento Thursday with F Josh Hart hitting 14 of 19. A similar performance is unlikely. New York will be without Randle for the rest of the season and won’t be a good matchup for a guard-heavy Bulls team. NY has won just 1 of its last 4 games.

Chicago has the talent in G Cody White to counteract G Jalen Brunson. The Bulls should also have a size advantage with C Nikola Vucevic. The Bulls will have a strong rest advantage as well, having not played for 4 days.

Chicago matches up well with New York. At home, take BULLS (-118).

Against the spread

PASS.

The spread and moneyline are close enough to consider either. I prefer the moneyline and to not fool around with the points.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 212 (-110).

Chicago has the scoring to help the Over here with 4 active players scoring 12 or more points per game. The Bulls have scored at least 108 points in 3 of their last 4 games and are 7-4 O/U in their last 11. Chicago is 40-35-1 O/U on the season.

The Knicks have gone Over in 6 straight games and have tallied at least 112 points in 5 of their last 6, allowing at least 109 in 4 straight as well. With Anunoby, who they brought in for his defensive acumen, still sidelined, the Bulls guard play could thrive.

Back OVER 212 (-110).

Season series: Bulls lead 1-0 after a 129-123 OT win in Chicago Feb. 6

Chicago was routed 125-108 by the Brooklyn Nets Friday while failing to cover as a 3-point road favorite. The Bulls were led by F DeMar DeRozan and his 31 points, but Chicago couldn’t overcome Brooklyn’s 56.8% shooting from long range. The Bulls are 1-4 straight up and against the spread (ATS) over their last 5 games.

Minnesota picked up a 111-98 win over the Denver Nuggets Friday while covering as a 3-point road underdog. The Timberwolves held the Nuggets to only 39.8% shooting from the field and 28.6% from deep in the win.

Bulls at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 112, Bulls 102

Moneyline

PASS.

Minnesota (-375) should pick up the win, but the Timberwolves are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN TIMBERWOLVES -8.5 (-110).

The Wolves have covered the spread in 7 of their last 8 overall and are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 home games. Chicago has failed to cover ATS in 5 of its last 6 games and is only 3-7 ATS in its last 10. Minnesota has also been the slightly better team ATS this season at 39-34, while the Bulls are 36-37-1.

This is only a lean because the Bulls have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 matchups vs. Minnesota.

Over/Under

BET OVER 214 (-108).

The Over has hit in 7 of Chicago’s last 10 overall and has been safer for the Bulls this year at 40-33-1. The Over is 3-0 in the last 3 meetings between these squads in Minnesota. The Over has also hit in 7 straight Chicago-Minnesota matchups and is 9-1 in the last 10 meetings overall.

Be aware that the Under has been slightly safer for Minnesota, both recently and on the season as a whole.

Bulls at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 111, Nets 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The Nets have won 2 straight games over teams far outside of the playoff race (Washington and Toronto). Prior to that, they had lost 6 in a row. While the plus-money odds are enticing, their value is on the spread.

Against the spread

BET NETS +5.5 (-110).

Brooklyn has struggled as of late, but it still has a slew of quality playmakers. The Nets have covered 3 of their last 4 games and are 3-2 ATS in their last 5 at home.

The Bulls are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 and 2-3 ATS in their last 5 road games. They are down many key players and have lost 3 of their last 4 games. Chicago is 4-8 ATS in its last 12.

Considering those trends and who should be available, back NETS +5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 215 (-110).

The Bulls have gone Over in 6 of their last 8 games and have scored at least 110 in all but 1 of those. They have even notched at least 125 in 3 of those 8.

The Nets are 9-4 O/U in their last 13 games and have allowed at least 115 in 2 of their last 4. Their main struggles have been offensively, but they scored 122 points on the Wizards and may be turning a corner.

Take OVER 215 (-110).

Wizards at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 123, Wizards 108

Moneyline

PASS.

You should avoid betting the Bulls (-700) as the juice is too much. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET BULLS -12 (-110).

Nothing heals what ails you like the Wizards coming to town. The Bulls need to get this win before the Indiana Pacers arrive on Wednesday. Chicago has failed to cover the spread in 4 of its last 5, but the 1 game they did was against the Wizards. The Bulls need to take advantage of this gimmie win as they try to hold onto their playoff seeding.

The Wizards are 1-6 against the spread (ATS) in their last 7 games. They are 31-38-2 ATS on the season.

Over/Under

BET OVER 225.5 (-110).

These 2 played to the Over in their 1st meeting. The Bulls are 6-0 against the Over in their last 6 games while the Wizards are 4-2.

Washington is the fastest team in the league when it comes to possessions per game (105.9). That fact comes at a price though as the Wizards don’t play much defense, allowing the most points per game in the league (123.7).
