3 Star Selection
Chicago (+5) over MIAMI
22-May-11 05:35 PM Pacific Time
Chicago hasn’t lost consecutive games since February 7th (8-0 straight up and ATS after a loss since) and the Bulls are 27-6-1 ATS following their last 34 losses going back to last season (13-1 ATS as an underdog). The Bulls also apply to a very good 42-9-1 ATS playoff bounce-back situation that has won 16 consecutive times and a 19-1 ATS game 3 situation also applies to Chicago. My ratings favor Miami by just 4 ½ points, so we have some line value to go along with the strong situation. I’ll take Chicago in a 3-Star Best Bet at +5 points or more and for 2-Stars down to +4 points.

Opinion
UNDER (179) – Chicago at MIAMI
22-May-11 05:35 PM Pacific Time
My math projects 179 ½ total points but I’d get 177 points using the pace of the first two games of this series. I expect a lower scoring game given that this game applies to a 72-49-3 game 3 Under situation, and I’ll lean Under 178 points or higher.
