HEAT v Bulls - game 3 betting info
At the time of this writing, the following Match Odds/Moneyline were available: Chicago Bulls (2.94, +194) and Miami Heat (1.49, -204)
Bulls are 29-11 ATS following a spread loss
Heat are 2-6 ATS versus the Central Division
Chicago has dropped the last two games in the series and many of the problems seem to exist on the offensive end. The Bulls have managed to score just 160 points in the last two games after posting 103 in the series opener. "We just keep plowing forward," said Bulls forward Carlos Boozer. "We feel like we had a chance to win the last two games." Boozer led the squad with 26 points in Sunday night's loss and will need to continue being a force on the offensive end to alleviate the pressure that falls on point guard Derrick Rose on a nightly basis. Rose scored 20 points in the Game 3 loss, but scored just two in the final quarter and attempted just two shots. Chicago is 28-19 ATS on the road this season.
The Bulls really showed their youth for the first time in the playoffs in Sunday's contest, highlighted by center Joakim Noah using an anti-gay slur in an exchange with a fan during the first quarter. Head coach Tom Thibodeau will need to bring the troops together and be leaned upon heavily if the squad is to prove victorious tonight. "Thibs always talks about walking through the fire together," Noah stated. "That's what it's all about." A loss would put the team on the brink of elimination and also mark the first time its dropped three consecutive games.
