NBA injury report - Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls should arrive with a few doubts, including DeMar DeRozan and Dalen Terry. Alex Caruso should be able to play.

It's worth remembering that Lonzo Ball, who has suffered from injuries in recent years, has already been ruled out for the entire 2023/24 season, but hopes to continue his career in the future.

NBA injury report - Miami Heat

In principle, the Miami Heat are without Tyler Herro, who suffered an ankle injury at the beginning of November and will be re-evaluated in a few weeks. R.J. Hampton is also sidelined with a knee injury.

November 20, 2023 7:41 PM ET

How the Heat arrive

Coach Erik Spoelstra's Heat have once again shown why they're one of the contenders to go far this season. The reigning NBA runners-up are among the best teams in the East. In fact, the Heat have a top-five defense in the East in terms of average points allowed.

Through the first 12 games of the season, they have given up an average of 110.3 points to their opponents.

With names like Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Duncan Robinson, the team has everything it takes to upset the opposition. In fact, in last Thursday's win over the Nets, Butler had 36 points, five rebounds, three assists and three blocks. Robinson contributed 26 points and Adebayo had 20.

November 20, 2023 7:34 PM ET

How the Bulls arrive

The Bulls have had a shaky start to the 2023/24 season, to say the least. And the Chicago team is trying to get its act together to leave the bottom of the East.

That's why coach Billy Donovan is hoping to improve the offensive end in particular. The Bulls currently have the second worst offense in the East in terms of average per game. As of Friday, they had scored 108.5 points per game, ahead of only the Orlando Magic (108.3) in the conference.

So the first step for the team is to improve their offensive consistency.

November 20, 2023 7:24 PM ET

Predictor: Chicago Bulls-Miami Heat

This game will be a clash of opposites in the Eastern Conference. After all, the Chicago Bulls, the hosts in this match, are fighting to get out of the bottom of the East. The visiting Miami Heat, on the other hand, are trying to establish themselves among the top teams in the conference.

The Illinois franchise has been on a wild ride at the start of the 2023/24 season. Before last Friday's game (17), when we closed this analysis, the team had four wins and eight losses, in the midst of a two-game losing streak.

The Florida organization, meanwhile, had won eight and lost four before last Friday's matches. And the most impressive thing is that, after losing four of their first five games of the season, Miami went on a seven-game winning streak, counting the game against the Brooklyn Nets last Thursday. Now comes the two games in a row against Chicago.

In the second consecutive match between the two teams, the Chicago Bulls will once again host the Miami Heat. The match between the Eastern Conference teams will take place on Monday (20) at 10pm (Brasília time). The stage will be the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.

Jimmy Butler

On the Heat's side, the performance of their supporting cast is important if they are to achieve victory in this new clash, considering that in the first game, of the team's 97 points, Jimmy Butler scored 25 points and Bam Adebayo added 24.

November 20, 2023 7:03 PM ET

DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine

To repeat the victory, the Bulls must rely on a good performance from DeMar DeRozan, but a higher score from Zach LaVine is essential, since in the last game he scored just 13 points, below his average for the season, which has been 22.6.
