The Miami Heat (24-23) enter this matchup as 4-point favorites against the Chicago Bulls (21-29). Miami is coming off a narrow 105-103 victory over the San Antonio Spurs, showcasing their defensive prowess, ranked seventh in the league (110.6 PPG allowed). Tyler Herro leads the Heat's offense with 23.8 PPG, while Bam Adebayo anchors the defense with 10.0 RPG. The Heat have been inconsistent on the road (11-13) but have shown resilience in tight games.

The Chicago Bulls, sitting 10th in the Eastern Conference, are looking to bounce back after a 127-119 loss to the Detroit Pistons. Nikola Vucevic (19.9 PPG, 10.4 RPG) and Coby White (18.4 PPG) lead the Bulls' offense, which ranks seventh in the league in scoring (116.5 PPG). However, their defense has been a glaring weakness, allowing 119.9 PPG (29th in the league).
