Bulls vs Heat Picks & Prediction

For the second straight season, the Bulls and Heat hook up for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Last season, the Heat trailed 85-80 with under 6 minutes remaining in regulation before going on a 22-6 run down the stretch to stun the Bulls, 102-91 to advance to the playoffs. 

In that game, Jimmy Butler scored 31 points against his former team to jump-start Miami's run to the NBA Finals.

However, Butler is sidelined for Friday's rematch with a sprained MCL suffered in Wednesday's one-point defeat at Philadelphia.

The Heat will try to grab the 8th seed in the East for a possible conference finals rematch with the Celtics if Miami can get past Chicago.

The Bulls blew out the Hawks, 131-116 on Wednesday to keep their season alive, also marking the 4th consecutive cover for Billy Donovan's team. Coby White dropped 42 points in the win, marking the 4th time in 5 games he has scored at least 20 points.

The two teams split four matchups this season as each squad won at home and on the road. However, these teams haven't faced off since December.

In spite of Butler's absence, Miami can turn to Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro to pick up the scoring load.

Pick: Heat -1.5 (-110)
