Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat Best Bet

Tue, Mar 1. 00:30 (UK)

The Chicago Bulls are 2nd in the eastern conference with 39 wins and 22 losses, and just a game behind the first seed. They have won 7 of their last 10 games, but are coming off a 116-110 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Although their offence has consistently been one of the best in the NBA this year, averaging 112.6 points per game on a 48.2% field goal percentage, their defence has left a lot to be desired. The Bulls have ranked 20th in the league in defensive rating, with an opponent field-goal percentage of 47.3%. With Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso listed as Out for this game, I don’t expect their perimeter defence to be on par to match the 3-point heavy Miami Heat.

The Miami Heat are sitting atop the eastern conference with 40 wins and 21 losses. They have won 8 of their last 10 games and are riding a 3-game winning streak. The Heat have been the second-best defensive team in the league with a rating of 105.5, allowing just 104.2 points per game and keeping opponents to just 43.8% on all shots. The Heat have had the upper hand in this match-up for the last 2 seasons, winning 4 of their last 5 encounters against the Bulls. Their most recent encounter was a 118-92 blowout victory for the Heat, and if they keep up their defensive prowess, it will be more of the same in this one.

• Selection: Miami Heat -3.5
• Best Odds: 2.00 (Marathonbet)
• Stakes: 7/10

Milwaukee Bucks vs Charlotte Hornets Best Bet

Tue, Mar 1.  01:00 (UK)

The defending champions in the Milwaukee Bucks are 5th in the eastern conference with 5 wins in their last 10 games and 2 losses in a row. They’ve had the second-worst defence in the league in the last 10 games with a rating of 118.1 and allowing 119.2 points per game. Their offence is still among the best in the league, ranking 3rd in the last 10 games, but their terrible defence is just what the Hornets need to getvtheir season back on track. With 86% of bettors backing the unreliable Bucks tonight, Charlotte are carrying some solid betting value. The Bucks have lost 2 of their 3 encounters against the Hornets this season, and the 10.5 point spread gives us an excellent betting opportunity.

Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets have been struggling recently, winning just 2 of their last 10 games and coming off a close 126-127 loss to the Detroit Pistons. The Hornets started the season as one of the best offensive teams in the league, but they have ranked 23rd in the last 10 games. The Hornets love playing against poor defensive teams as it allows their fast-paced style to dictate the pace of games and overpower opponents. The Hornets are a 3-point heavy team and they do it well, hitting 36.2% of their shots from beyond the arc. Milwaukee’s poor perimeter defence is just what this team needs to get their offence going again, and I have no problem backing them in the handicap market.

• Selection: Charlotte +10.5
• Best Odds: 1.94 (Marathonbet)
• Stakes: 8/10
