Break up the Bulls. They have won two of their last three games with the much overrated Heat coming to town. The Heat have yet to cover this year against a team with a losing record. Shaq will dominate down low in this game, but he has not been getting the help he got from his boy Kobe in LA. Miami is 1-5 ATS versus foul prone teams (called for 24 or more fouls/game) this season. This stat is suprising considering that Shaq should be fouling people out and taking advantage. The key here is Shaq is getting old. He played a ton of minutes the other night in the loss to the Magic, and they will try to get him some rest here against a team they know they should beat easily. The Heat start a four game road trip that gets much tougher after this game so they will simply try and get out of Chi-town with the W here and move on. Like the Bulls in this spot for two stars.
