Bulls vs. Heat Prediction
A pair of hot teams over their last 10 games will meet in Miami on Monday night when the Heat host the Bulls at 7:30 p.m. ET. Will Chicago cover as a 4-point road dog or is there a better bet on the board?

Chicago Bulls DFS Notes
Nikola Vucevic (left ankle sprain) is considered probable for Monday against the Heat. Vooch struggled during their matchup with the Grizzlies, but it’s unclear if the injury was the reason why. He should be good to go against the Heat, but if something changes, newly acquired Tristan Thompson could slide into the starting lineup. Thompson is obviously not the well-rounded fantasy asset that Vooch is, but he’ll be an excellent source of rebounds.
Miami Heat DFS Notes
Kyle Lowry (personal reasons) will not be available for Monday’s game against the Bulls. Lowry won’t get to match up with a former teammate and close friend in DeMar DeRozan Monday night, and this leaves a sizable hole in Miami’s starting lineup. Look for Gabe Vincent to get the starting nod, which would make him a worthwhile deep-league streamer. Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo are also capable of initiating the offense for the Heat, so don’t be surprised if those two experience a slight bump in their assist numbers.
Bulls vs. Heat NBA Betting Prediction
The over is the best play on the board tonight in Miami. It has cashed in four straight meetings between these two teams and in four straight meetings in Miami. The over is also 4-1 in the Bulls’ last five road games, is 4-1 in their last five games as an underdog and is 4-1 in their last five games coming off a loss. On the other side, the over is 6-1 in the Heat’s last seven games as a home favorite, is 7-1 in their last eight games versus a team with a winning percentage above .600 and is 5-0 in their last five games when facing an opponent with a winning record.
