Miami Heat vs. Chicago Bulls

Tyler Herro 25+ Points (-130)

Picture how many shots you think Tyler Herro will take tonight.

Got it? Okay. Now add 10.

If Miami is going to sneak into the playoffs this time around, it will be due to a monster performance from their combo guard. There’s no Playoff Jimmy to bail them out. Terry Rozier is sidelined. This is a team that hasn’t looked the part of the typically dangerous Heat all season, and now they need a bit of a miracle against a Bulls squad that was firing on all cylinders on Wednesday.

Herro was atrociously inefficient in Miami’s 7-8 matchup against the Sixers, but he still managed to get to 25 points due to his massive volume, going 9-27 from the field. This bump in attempts came after Butler suffered an early MCL injury and was forced to serve as a decoy for the remainder of the game. With him completely out of the picture for tonight’s contest, I think there’s a very good chance Herro takes 30-plus shots.

Whether that will result in a performance strong enough to lead Miami past the Bulls is yet to be seen, but one thing’s for sure… the volume will be there.
