Game: Miami at Chicago (8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 2 units on Chicago -3.5

The Bulls barely covered the game one spread by a point but it wasn't that close. Somehow the Heat hung around but Chicago really dominated. It could have very easily been a double-digit win instead of a 5-point win. Riley is good at making adjustments but his team is just outmatched here. Remember, Chicago should have been the #2 seed in the East if not for a final game loss. Chicago is just too good. Miami had no answer for Luol Deng in game one (33 points and 8 rebounds) or Ben Gordon (24 points and 11 assists). With Miami, Riley is now 7-17 ATS in April games wheras the Bulls are 30-13 ATS with Skiles at the helm. That includes a 17-5 ATS mark the past two seasons! Miami is just 17-25 on the road this year while Chicago is 32-10 at home. We look for the Bulls to defend the homecourt again and win and cover.
