Miami Heat vs. Chicago Bulls – Betting Odds and Free Pick

The NBA began and the Miami Heat is one of the teams that dream of lifting the title, and the Chicago Bulls will be the first stone on the road.

The Heat doesn’t look like it’ll be the same team from last season, but they’ll try to show they’re stronger than ever going into this start.

The Bulls are one of the candidates in the Eastern Conference and want to forget their elimination last tournament, so they hope that this time injuries will allow them to show all their talent.

The game between the Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls will be this Wednesday, October 19 at the FTX Arena for matchday 1 of the NBA.

Why Bet on Miami Heat

The Miami Heat has been having good seasons, advancing to the playoffs in the last 3 tournaments and obtaining a runner-up. However, it seems that the gas is running out. In the last championship they fell in the conference final against the Boston Celtics (4-3), but we don’t know if they can match that record.

Being so close to the title and still falling short so many times start to be a problem, as sooner or later the team’s self-confidence drop and the best players seek new horizons.

Jimmy Butler is the great star of the team and to whom this team gravitates. The forward game is very important for the Heat to do well and coach Erik Spoelstra will have to surround him very well with Tyler Herro, Victor Oladipo, Kyle Lowry, and Bam Adebayo. One of those who left is PJ Tucker and he will undoubtedly be a significant casualty on defense.

Although they are a good team, the impression they give is that they have a short squad that, due to the demands of the league and the rivals themselves, can take its toll on them.

Why Bet on Chicago Bulls

After a 4-year absence, the Chicago Bulls returned to the postseason in the last tournament, where they were crushed by the Milwaukee Bucks 4-1. Despite that, Billy Donovan’s quintet showed a very good game and it is presumed that, if injuries allow it, they can do important things.

Without a doubt, the big problem for the Bulls last season was the injuries. Many of their figures missed too many games because of this, and it is something that has been worked on in recent months.

There was also a visible mentality problem, as the team had the dubious distinction of never winning against sides in the first positions of their conferences. This is interesting seeing that, for a good part of midseason, the Bulls were at the top in the East (showing that they have talent), but a run of losses against the best squads was the beginning of their demise. It may be true that so many years of underperforming can take a toll on a team’s mentality and self-confidence, but even the worst teams in the league managed to pull the upset once in a while last season.

The young Zach Levine should be the soul of this team, but as mentioned before, he must be aware of the physical problems that afflict him. DeMar DeRozan was the team’s leading scorer last season, and this time he hopes to get along better with Levine and lead the team to the Finals.

Lonzo Ball, another of the team’s figures, will not be able to be at the start of the season due to an injury.

Final Betting Analysis: Miami Heat vs. Chicago Bulls

It is the first game of the season for both, so it is difficult to know how each team is doing this year, but the Heat have proven to be very strong at home, while the Bulls have several injuries that made them dependent on DeMar DeRozan, so we believe that Miami will be the winner.

At MyBookie.ag we find that Miami Heat is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of -270, while Chicago Bulls has +290 and the draw is at +212.

The last time they met was on April 2 of this year and the Heat won 127 to 109. Precisely the Miami quintet has succeeded in the last 4 games against the Bulls and in 11 of the last 13, demonstrating a great superiority in recent years.

Go for a straight win for Miami Heat in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the win at -270, you will gain $37 for a total payout of $137.
