What you should know

The Miami Heat have been 18-5 against the Chicago Bulls since January 2016 and have a chance to continue that success on Wednesday. They will go head-to-head on October 19th at 7:30pm ET at FTX Arena to kick off their 2022 season. Miami was on the positive side last season at .500 (53-29) and hopes to start an even better year. Chicago is in the same boat, having finished its senior year 46-36.

A few stats from last season to keep in mind as you watch: The Heat held their opponents at a 44.70% field goal percentage, good for fourth in the league. But the Bulls ranked third in field goal percentage and finished the 2021-2022 season with 48% overall. We’ll see which of these strengths – offensive or defensive – will prevail.

Miami has the odds in their favor, so they must be wary of complacency. These early season matchups can go either way as both teams get back on form.
