Second end of a back-to-back, let's get another one tonight against Miami!
- The Bulls have generally been fine coming off back-to-backs this season, but given the massive performance from the big 3 last night, I’m interested to see how they come out tonight. Let’s see a little more of that tonight as well against a very solid team in Miami coming off a big win over the Grizzlies CT on NBC Sports Chicago (TV) and 670 The Score (Radio)
The Miami Heat have a good opportunity Saturday against a tired Bulls team. WIth a chance to add wins to their tally, they should be able to get it done.
Miami will finish off the second leg of a back-to-back set on Sunday, heading to Detroit to face the Pistons, before a very crucial set of games in the following two after that. The Miami Heat have a good opportunity Saturday against a tired Bulls team. [Kyle Lowry](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3012/kyle-lowry) will sit in the first game of a pair as he continues to manage a knee issue that he is returning from, presumably taking just this game of the back-to-back set off. [Cody Zeller](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/2579258/cody-zeller) remains out with the facial fracture suffered against Orlando recently, while Orlando Robinson, [ Nikola Jovic](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4997528/nikola-jovic), and Jamal Cain remain in the G league. Putting the Heat in an immediate advantage there, you also look to the fact that they played two extra periods, again, all boding well for the Heat. But not to get too far ahead of one’s self, the Bulls are first up on Saturday.

[Javonte Green](http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/2596112/javonte-green) (right knee soreness) was ruled after after experiencing soreness following consecutive days of practicing involving contact drills. “It was good progress,” Bulls coach [Billy Donovan](http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4839/billy-donovan) said. [Nikola Vucevic](http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/6478/nikola-vucevic) converted a 3-point play with slightly more than 10 minutes left in the third quarter. [Kyle Lowry](http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3012/kyle-lowry) (left knee soreness) was held out as part of an injury management plan as the Heat played the first of two games on back-to-back nights. “This is the plan for this week,” Spoelstra said. The Heat were in the early stages of a 15-0 run during a six-minute stretch. They didn't need to rely heavily on DeRozan, who scored 49 points in 52 minutes against the Timberwolves or LaVine (39 in 47). Beverley had to leave briefly midway through the first quarter after claiming he got kicked on a jump shot by Jimmy Butler. Before we knew it, we surrendered 70 (in the first half).” “They were doubling Zach because he's at a superstar level.” "No matter how well I shoot it, I think it’s the look of me that people want to leave me open. “No matter how well I shoot it, I’m 38% for my career from 3-point (range) for over a decade,” said Beverley, who shot 5 of 10 against Miami.
