    Are the Bulls +3 a mandatory bet on Thursday?

    Heat with a miraculous cover/comeback in Atlanta tonight. On a B2B, and with a short number, it'll probably be the biggest and most lopsided public play in quite a while.

    Really no reason for Chicago to win or cover here, even though they somehow prevailed in Miami last month. Probably means they're the play.

    I was thinking the same thing, and because of the public, the line could move down to +1? You reckon get on it now before that could happen?

    I doubt it. You'll probably be able to get +3 -110 tomorrow at some point.

    Thinking we may see a public split Thurs like we saw with 2 huge pub faves Wed with Heatles and Thunder. Rarely bet Heat games but they are on one of their runs right now and Bulls have not impressed lately at all. Lean Heat here but lack of inside game and Bulls advantage in paint worries me a little but hard to fade Miami when clicking like this.


    So if Heatles cover expect Spurs to take down or cover at least vs flop city. These 2 squared off in playoffs so you can play the revenge angle for flop c if you want. However I believe some teams just have other teams # and I lik the better team and coach here getting pts. So guess I LEAN Heatles and Spurs at 1st glance.

    Kinda reminds me of a OKC/Bulls game earlier in the season where the public pounded OKC like crazy, the line was sensibly the same (OKC a short fave) and it came down to the wire and OKC won by 4 or 5 if I remember correctly. Game was on TNT as well I think.

    Clippers have already taken "revenge" on the Spurs twice this season, once by 21 points. I think that angle is done now.

    I really think the Bulls are the play here. I wrote about this in another thread, but honestly without Rose in the lineup, and heading into the semi-dog days of the regular season, the Heat won't care about this game as much as the Bulls IMO. Bulls are scrappy enough to get this thing done tomorrow even though they are super inconsistent and cannot score worth a damn. The Bulls have been embarrassed on their home floor this year by pathetic teams such as the Charlotte Bobcats, Phoenix Suns, New Orleans Hornets, etc. But against the Heat (during the regular season) whether at home or on the road, the Bulls definitely get extra motivated. We've had a bit of a rivalry with them ever since LeBron went to Miami and especially since the Bulls faced the Heat in the playoffs two years ago. Even our role players get extra hyped for a Heat game. Look for LeBron to get double teamed quite a bit which should open up the floor for Dwyane Wade and other Heat players. If Wade & Bosh aren't really too hot tomorrow, Bulls should have a decent shot. Don't forget, the Heat are coming off a game & flight from Atlanta. The Bulls have been chilling & practicing (with Rose finally) in Chicago the last few days & should be ready for prime time. As long as the Bulls keep this game low scoring, I think they have a chance. If you don't want to pick a side, I'm thinking UNDER 186.5 might be worth considering as well.

    Only thing that worries me is Bulls beating Miami at home earlier in the season...if Miami comes out hungry for revenge they win.

    On the other hand, i think it should be a good public fade and maybe a nice spot for Miami's run to come to an end.

    I'm most likely going to play the Bulls tomorrow. I could care less about the revenge factor. The Bulls care and "try" in the regular season, the Heat could care less about a game in February.

    The Bulls SOMETIMES care & try during the regular season, but against the Miami Heat in the regular season, they almost always do.

    So if this loses, is the NBA then unbettable? I mean, obviously you spend hours and lots of effort to cap this game.

    Guessing steam & public money on Miami is driving the line movement towards the +3.5 mark for Chicago. Once in a while Vegas does do favors when it comes to line movement. They'll still surely make money if the public has a lot of $$$ on Miami even if the Heatles lose ATS.

    Two things I try to avoid.

    Bulls match up well against Heat and are playing them at home on a b2b. Heat still win.

    It's pointless betting against Miami when they're on such a good run. Last night was supposed to be in favour of Atlanta, with Joe Crawford as ref and all the other BS that came with that game. But Miami still pushed through it. They're just too dangerous to bet against IMO, there are better games out there, I'd rather save my money than hope for this Bulls team to beat them.
