Miami Heat Favored to Beat Chicago Bulls in Play-In Game
Bulls and Heat Evenly Matched Despite Regular Season Deficit
Chicago Bulls to Win 105
According to ESPN's Matchup Predictor, the Miami Heat have a 61.5% chance of beating the Chicago Bulls in the second game of the Play-In Tournament on Friday. However, the Bulls finished just seven games behind the Heat in the regular season, and the teams split their season series 2-2. This suggests that the teams are fairly evenly matched.
The Bulls (40-43) and Heat (46-37) will meet at the Kaseya Center on Friday night at 7 pm ET. The Heat have the slight edge in scoring, averaging 110.1 points per game to the Bulls' 113.7. However, Miami has also been more prone to giving up points, allowing opponents to score 113.7 points per game.
When Miami scores more than 113.7 points per game, it has a record of 29-6 and is 24-11 against the spread. The Bulls, on the other hand, have a record of 22-21 when allowing opponents to score more than 113.7 points per game.
Based on these statistics, it seems likely that the teams will split the first couple of games in Chicago. However, the Heat may have a slight edge in the series if they can continue to score more points than the Bulls allow.
