Premium Pick

Miami missed 23 of 34 from 3-point range and shot only 43 percent overall while losing 116-105 to Atlanta on Tuesday, but the bright spots were Kyle Lowry pouring in 33 points and Tyler Herro adding 26 for the Heat, who also got 21 from Jimmy Butler. The biggest factor was on the boards as the Heat got outrebounded 63-39, including 22-6 on the offensive glass. Chicago had to overcome a 19-point third quarter deficit to beat Toronto 109-105 even though the Bulls were outrebounded 50-36 and they have lost the rebounding battle seven of their past nine games and that will be an advantage for Miami. The last two meetings have gone UNDER and the UNDER is 34-16-1 in Chicago's past 51 road games versus opponents with .600 home winning percentages. The Bulls have averaged just 104.6 points their past five games and Miami has allowed 109.2 its past five. Miami has home court and it has covered five of seven following a loss and four of five overall at home. Take the Heat moneyline, the First Half UNDER as a Max Play and the full game to stay UNDER the total.
