3% MIAMI 1H (-120) ML vs CHICAGO
So we're going back to the Miami Heat after they melted down on Saturday for us against this same Chicago Bulls team. When you start out a game 21-1 , you don't often lose that bet but Miami did and from the quotes I'm reading, it's not sitting well with Jimmy Butler and the rest of the team. The Bulls are now 4-0 against the Heat the last few seasons and they have won these games in the exact same fashion. The Bulls start slow, Miami starts fast and then the Bulls wake up in the 2H (especially in the 4Q) and Miami fades away in the 4th Quarter giving them time to get back into the game. So there is no need to over think this, I'm taking the Miami Heat in the 1H as they have the second-best Defensive Rating in the 1H (103.2) and the fourth-best Net Rating (+8.9) and that makes them the second-most profitable team in the first half this season. They will also be much more in tune to finishing this game so I'll be looking to back them in the full game LIVE as well.
