The Chicago Bulls have been dealing almost exclusively in thrillers this month, and they’ll look to continue their impressive home form as they host the Miami Heat tonight.
Though Miami arrives with a solid 9-6 record, five of those losses have come on the road, and I’m targeting a Chicago onslaught in my Heat vs. Bulls predictions, with Josh Giddey taking center stage.

Heat vs Bulls prediction
Heat vs Bulls best bet: Josh Giddey Over 18.5 rebounds + assists (-130)
The Chicago Bulls handed Josh Giddey the keys to the offense for the foreseeable future with the significant contract extension this offseason, and he’s responded with a dynamite opening month.
Giddey’s contributions are showing up all over the box score, and he’s averaging a triple-double in November despite the hosts’ 3-6 mark across their last nine contests.
I’m looking past his scoring tonight and focusing on the rebounds + assists combo prop instead, with Giddey nailing this Over in seven of his past nine games.
His playmaking should be on show against the up-tempo Miami Heat, after dishing 13 dimes in Wednesday’s win over the Portland Trail Blazers, and the Aussie sits third in the NBA with 9.7 APG this year.
Giddey is also among the league’s best rebounders at the guard position, and he’s grabbed 9+ boards in six of his last eight outings. Tonight looks like a favorable matchup for him on the glass, as Miami has lost the rebounding battle in nine straight outings.
With Nikola Vucevic, Coby White and even Isaac Okoro knocking down 3-pointers, Giddey is free to focus on checking all the other boxes for Billy Donovan’s squad. I expect him to have his fingerprints all over this contest.
Heat vs Bulls same-game parlay
While the Heat are 10-5 ATS this season, they’ve struggled on their travels, and that spells trouble against a Bulls team that’s 5-1 at the United Center. Chicago has covered the spread in five of the last seven meetings with Miami, so I’ll lay the points with this small line.
Kel’el Ware is making the most of his minutes off the bench, and this rebounds O/U line feels too low. Ware has finished with 10+ boards in six straight games, and he’s averaging 14.2 RPG in that span.

- Josh Giddey Over 18.5 rebounds + assists
- Kel’el Ware Over 9.5 rebounds
- Bulls -2.5
Our "from downtown" SGP: Giddey Up!
A Heat offense missing Tyler Herro and Andrew Wiggins will be looking for some magic from the supporting cast here, and Simone Fontecchio has been on fire from downtown.
He’s knocking down his 3-pointers at a 48% clip this season, and he’s gone past this points prop number in three of his past five outings.
