Miami Heat Form
Miami head to Chicago having cost themselves home court advantage for this game with four defeats in their final six games to finish the regular season 37-45.
The Heat endured a red-hot run between late March and early April as they reeled off six consecutive victories.
That was ended by a 110-108 defeat when they hosted Memphis, and it proved to be the start of a downturn for them.
Miami then sandwiched a 117-105 win over Philadelphia with a 121-115 overtime defeat to Milwaukee and a 119-111 loss in Chicago.
The Heat bounced back from the defeat in the ‘Windy City’ with a 153-104 demolition of New Orleans, only to wrap up the regular season with a 119-118 loss to Washington.
Chicago Bulls Form
Chicago enter this Play-In matchup on a fantastic run of form, having won 10 of their final 13 games of the regular season.
The Bulls began this run with a four-game win streak that included a sensational buzzer-beating win over the Los Angeles Lakers, 119-117.
That run was halted by a 120-119 defeat to Dallas and a 145-117 loss to Oklahoma City, but they responded strongly with a three-game run.
Chicago beat Toronto 137-118 and Portland 118-113 at home, before downing Charlotte 131-117 on the road.
The Bulls then bounced back from a 135-113 loss in Cleveland with victories over Miami, 119-111, Washington, 119-89, and Philadelphia, 122-102.
Verdict
Few teams enjoyed an end to the regular season quite like Chicago, who storm into the Play in tournament.
They swept Miami during the regular season too, so we are backing the Bulls to delight the UC crowd.
