Thoughts: The Bulls are coming off a win over the New Orleans Hornets while the Heat defeated the Atlanta Hawks last night. With Miami playing last night on the road, I’m surprised they are a three point favorite. The Bulls win a close one tonight so I’d take them with the points as well as the over here.
