Betting on the Chicago Bulls
- Regular season record: 0-0
- Spread: +6
- Moneyline: +195
- Over/Under: 216
The Chicago Bulls closed out the preseason with a big announcement: the signing of Greek 24-year-old 2.08-inch power forward Kostas Antetokounmpo, younger brother of Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
With Lonzo Ball sidelined to start the season, the Bulls are relying on Ayo Dosunmu to provide leadership while in the starting lineup. Dosunmu, who made a welcome appearance with many minutes last season, has started all four preseason games in the absence of Ball, who underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in late September.
The Bulls kicked off the preparation with a loss to the Pelicans, but then strung together a series of three consecutive victories to the Nuggets, Raptors and Bucks.
Betting on the Miami Heat
- Regular season record: 0-0
- Spread: -6
- Moneyline: -245
- Over/Under: 216
Miami won 53 games last season and finished first in the Eastern Conference. They then fell just short of the NBA title, losing in Game 7 of the conference finals to the Celtics. Undoubtedly, it was injuries that prevented the Florida team from going further last season, and that will be a point to keep in mind for the road they are now starting to travel.
Another factor to consider is how the team performs in a season for which it didn’t fully strengthen, as opposed to conference opponents such as Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, or Milwaukee, which appear to be more strong and have made solid signings for this year.
We’ll have to see how the team copes with the loss of PJ Tucker, who went to the Philadelphia 76ers, and how Caleb Martin can replace him.
JefeBet Prediction
We are probably facing a high-scoring game, partly because the teams have not yet found their true form, which as always is acquired over the course of the season. Thus, we predict that this Bulls vs Heat will be a high-scoring matchup.
Prediction: Miami Heat win and Over.
