This game is going to be important for the Bulls to really make a point to the rest of the NBA. The Bulls have often struggled against some of the top teams around the league this season. That was evident in their Feb. 26 loss at home to the Grizzlies.
Five-time All-Star forward DeMar DeRozan could use a strong outing in this one. He didn’t have his most efficient performance in the Bulls’ loss to the Grizzlies, shooting just 10-of-29 from the field. A strong effort from DeRozan could get the Bulls their first win of the season over one of the top three teams in the East at this point of the season.

DeRozan and the Bulls could get back on the right track and reverse this problematic trend of losing almost every game they have against one of the top five or six teams in the NBA. It goes without saying that the confidence the Bulls could gain from beating the Heat will go a long way through the stretch run of this season.
