Heat Culture really comes out during the NBA playoffs.
The Miami Heat face the Chicago Bulls in the play-in tournament Wednesday and, somewhat surprisingly, enter as underdogs.
Erik Spolestra’s group opened as a one-point underdog and has since been bet up to 2.5 at Caesars Sportsbook, as sharp money comes in on the young-blood Bulls.
Check out Caesars Sportsbook’s promotion for its new users, including New Yorkers, where those who wager $1 will receive $150 in bonus bets.
Tail or fade Wednesday night’s best bet for Heat vs. Bulls.
Heat vs. Bulls prediction
Chicago ended the season white hot and that is surely why they are getting so much betting attention.
The Bulls were the second-best team in the NBA against the spread (ATS) in the final 20 games of the season, second only behind the league-best Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Heat were far worse, having ended the season 10-10 ATS in their final 20.
These two teams faced off in a game that actually mattered April 9, with the Bulls winning, 119-111, in Chicago.
Chicago is spicy, with the emergence of rookie Matas Buzelis spearheading a strong rotation that includes Coby White, Josh Giddey and Nikola Vucevic.
Betting on the NBA?
The Bulls might be a totally different team than what they were even two months ago.
However, my model has the Heat favored here, 109.44 to 108.57, so this is a great spot to bet on Miami.
Look for Spolestra and crew to step it up a notch in a win-or-go-home game Wednesday.
