Preview
This would be the first time NBA superstar Dwyane Wade will face Miami since he joined Chicago in July, signing a two-year, $47.5 million deal that the Heat is not willing to give him. He is expected to have a big game and show his old team what they passed up during the recent free-agency period.
Chicago is coming off a 115-107 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on the road at the Philips Arena on Wednesday which dropped them to the .500 mark, as per the Chicago Tribune.
The Bulls has been reeling at the moment, losing three of their last four games after opening the season on a three-game winning streak.
Jimmy Butler scored 39 points, grabbed four rebounds, dished off seven assists, and tipped off six steals to lead Chicago in a losing effort.
Wade had 25 points, three boards, three assists, and five steals to back up Butler while Rondo, the third member of the "Three Alphas", contributed six points, five rebounds, and seven assists in a lackluster performance.
Starting power forward Taj Gibson had 13 points, six rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in an inspired effort.
It was the third consecutive road loss for head coach Fred Hoiberg's side as the team is now 1-3 on away games this season.
Meanwhile, Miami is on a two-game losing skid after a 97-85 defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Chesapeake Energy Arena on Monday, the Sun-Sentinel reported.
The Heat's starters struggled in the game with Goran Dragic only producing 11 points, one rebound, and four assists, shooting 5-for-12 from the field while Hassan Whiteside had five points, 12 rebounds, and two blocks.
Starting small forward Luke Babbitt netted 11 points while three bench players also scored in double figures, namely James Johnson, Willie Reed, and Tyler Johnson with 18, 11, and 10 points respectively.
Miami has won seven of their last nine home games dating back to last season, but they have been 1-2 at the American Airlines Arena this season.
Prediction
A close win for the Bulls as Wade plays inspired basketball.
