Smart Game Analysis
Miami Heat has a 64% chance of winning the game
Miami is positioned to split the back-to-back set at home, capitalizing on their superior paint scoring and the urgency to snap a third-quarter slump against a Bulls defense allowing nearly 120 points per game.
Key Analysis
- • Chicago center Nikola Vucevic is expected to return after resting Saturday, bolstering the Bulls' rebounding and inside presence.
- • Miami's Tyler Herro (ribs) and Davion Mitchell (shoulder) remain doubtful, leaving the Heat's backcourt thin on playmaking.
- • The Heat rank 3rd in the NBA for points in the paint (54.3 PPG) and will look to exploit Chicago's 26th-ranked interior defense.
- • Chicago's Ayo Dosunmu is coming off a season-high 29-point performance, giving the Bulls a dangerous scoring option if Coby White sits again.
- • Miami has been outscored in eight consecutive third quarters, a trend they must reverse to hold leads.
- • The Bulls must improve their transition defense after allowing Miami to shoot 46.3% from the field this season.
