Despite the model prediction favouring the Chicago Bulls, the bet on Miami Heat is strategically sound due to their stronger recent performance. The Heat have won 4 of their last 5 games compared to Bulls' 3, and they also hold an impressive overall score of 121.4 over the last 5 games, significantly higher than the Bulls' 108.6. This suggests a stronger offensive capability. Additionally, while the Bulls have a better record against the Heat in their last 5 encounters, the Heat's recent form and scoring efficiency may provide the necessary edge to overcome this historical disadvantage. Also, both teams have identical Away/Home records in their last 5 games, indicating the Heat can compete effectively on the road. Therefore, the Miami Heat's recent form and scoring prowess make them a good choice for this bet.
