Heat vs. Bulls: 10 Outrageous Prop Bets for Tonight's Eastern Conference Bout
The Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls will square off tonight in a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference Finals. But we all know that the prop bets are the fun part, right?
There are all kinds of crazy prop bets to make for tonight's big matchup, including the points teams will score, shots that will be missed and remarks made by the commentators.
Here are 10 outrageous prop bets for your enjoyment.
Number of Times LeBron James and Dwyane Wade Alley Oop Each Other
1 of 10Over/Under: 5.5
Chicago brings the over/under down on this one because it is a good defensive team that does not allow teams to get out and run in transition. It will be tough for the Heat to get the over.
Number of Foul Calls Derrick Rose Gets
2 of 10Over/Under: 4.5
It will be interesting to see whether the $25,000 fine that Derrick Rose got for criticizing the referees was worth it. Rose got just nine free-throw attempts in his last game, so it depends on the reaction of the officials as to whether the over or under is good here.
Number of Times Last Year's Acquistion of the Big Three Is Mentioned
3 of 10Over/Under: 3.5
People have actually started talking about the Miami Heat as a team right now and forgetting about how they came together. That being said, this one will still be close.
Number of Points Score by Carlos Boozer
4 of 10Over/Under: 15.5
Carlos Boozer is a skilled big man offensively, and it will be interesting to see if he can come up big in this moment. I'd be the under, but that's just me.
Number of Assists for LeBron James
5 of 10Over/Under: 7.5
LeBron James is clearly the field general for the Miami Heat offense. Whether or not he can distribute efficiently against the Bulls' solid defense will be a key to who wins the game. Take the under.
Number of Rebounds for Joakim Noah
6 of 10Over/Under: 8.5
When Joakim Noah can rebound and have his way in the paint, the Bulls win. Expect big things from Noah tonight. He has become one of the best defensive big men in the game.
Number of Points for Chris Bosh
7 of 10Over/Under: 17.5
Chris Bosh is the unsung hero of the Miami Heat. He provides the balance between the post and perimeter they need offensively, and they'll win if he can score against the Bulls. The under is feeling right.
Number of Threes Made by Kyle Korver
8 of 10Over/Under: 2.5
Kyle Korver's long range ability stretches the floor, providing space for Derrick Rose, Luol Deng and Carlos Boozer to work in. Take the under tonight; the Heat's perimeter defense is too good.
Number of Pau Gasol Trade References in the Broadcast
9 of 10Over/Under: 4.5
The recent trade buzz has been about Pau Gasol heading to Chicago to pair with Derrick Rose. Still, take the under. This matchup trumps the rumor.
Number of Clutch Shots LeBron James Hits
10 of 10Over/Under: 0.5
Is this cruel? LeBron James has hit some clutch shots recently. We'll see if he can do it against the Bulls. I'd take the under; D-Wade will be taking all the clutch shots in his hometown.
