Point Spread Pick
MIA Heat -1.5(-110)

The Miami Heat enter this matchup at 25-23, leaning on a balanced offensive approach that’s producing roughly 119.7 points per game. Norman Powell has emerged as the primary scoring option at about 23.5 PPG, while Kel’el Ware has provided valuable interior production and rebounding. Miami has shown a high offensive ceiling, eclipsing 140 points multiple times this season, and has paired that scoring punch with improved defensive effort, allowing around 118.4 points per game over recent weeks. The Heat are at their best when controlling tempo, spreading the floor, and forcing opponents into half court sets where their defensive discipline shows up.

Chicago comes in at 23-24, capable offensively but inconsistent from game to game. The Bulls are averaging close to 117.9 PPG, with Coby White continuing to lead the way after a 22-point performance in their recent 120-115 win over Minnesota, while Josh Giddey chipped in 21 points in that matchup. Nikola Vucevic remains a focal point in the frontcourt, creating scoring and rebounding mismatches, but Chicago’s defense has been unreliable. A recent loss to Indiana highlighted those issues, as the Bulls surrendered a late lead in a 113-110 defeat. With Miami’s offensive depth, recent defensive improvement, and ability to dictate pace at home, the Heat hold the situational edge in what should be a competitive contest.
