The Bulls won the previous two matchups between these clubs, but both of those games were played in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>The Heat had a huge lead on Thursday night but were outscored 40-9 down the stretch of the game and lost to division-rival Orlando. Miami is led by the dynamic scoring duo of LeBron James (26.3 PPG) and Dwayne Wade (25.6 PPG), both of whom are in the top five in the NBA in scoring. Adding in the play of the third member of their \u2018Big Three\u2019 in Chris Bosh (18.2 PPG) gives the Heat the only club with three players in the top 30 in scoring.<\/p>\n<p>The Bulls have quietly put together a first place season in the Central Division in this 20th anniversary season of their first world championship from 1990-91. Derrick Rose is blossoming into one of the elite point guards in all of basketball. He is averaging 24.6 points per outing, 8th best in the league, and is 10th in assists at 8.2 per game. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmaker.ag\/mobile-betting.aspx?cmpid=14237_2696\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin: 5px\" src=\"http:\/\/banners.bmaker.ag\/images\/book_wireless_240_400_1.gif?cmpid=14237_2696\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another reason for Chicago\u2019s solid play lately has been the return from injury of Joakim Noah. The 6\u201911\u201d forward from Florida has played in five games since being activated of injured reserve, and has averaged 10.8 points and 12.8 rebounds per game in leading the Bulls to three wins over that span.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago enters play this weekend with a 14 \u00bd game lead over Indiana in the Central Division, the largest lead for any of the six division front-runners. They are in the middle of a road trip that will see them swing through Orlando to face the Magic on Friday night.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recent Trends:<\/strong><br \/>\nCHI are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall.<br \/>\nCHI are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 Sun. games.<br \/>\nOver is 8-2 in MIA last 10 vs. NBA Central.<br \/>\nMIA are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Sun. games.<br \/>\nUnder is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt\u2019s Free Prediction: Heat \u2013<\/strong> Despite their recent woes against teams with gifted point guards, Miami will sense the urgency of getting things turned around against elite teams by posting a home victory on Sunday against a solid Bulls squad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Martz is a sports writer for the Bakersfield Californian, the Oregonian, the Springfield Republican, and the Utah Spectrum.
