The Chicago Bulls travel to South Beach to face the Miami Heat at American Airlines Arena on Sunday.

The Bulls (8-15) just lost a home game against the Golden State Warriors on Friday and that exemplifies where this team is at right now. Losing at home to Golden State used to be a normal occurrence but it's embarrassing this season with the roster the Warriors are sending out there. What's worse is the fact that the Bulls were outscored by eight points in that final quarter, lacking in late-game execution yet again. That's OK to see from a young team on occasion but it has become way too common for this struggling franchise. That has to make one believe that changes are right around the corner, with many fans calling for Jim Boylen to be fired.

The Heat (16-6) have been one of the biggest surprises in the NBA and their home form is definitely a reason why. In fact, Miami currently has a perfect 9-0 record at AAA this season, after a 112-103 win over the Washington Wizards on Friday. That victory got another gem from Jimmy Butler, who's actually averaging nearly 30 points a game over his last three fixtures while approaching nearly 10 rebounds and 10 assists as well. Those near triple-double averages show just how valuable he's become for this franchise and adding a superstar like him has put this team on another level. Getting a breakout from Bam Adebayo hasn't hurt either, as he's stuffing the stat sheet at will too. As long as those two continue to thrive and that get stellar play from guys like Kendrick Nunn, Goran Dragic and Tyler Herro, this team should continue to win ballgames at ease.

Miami won the first game between these teams, 116-108, on November 22, That gives the Heat seven wins in their last 10 fixtures against the Bulls.
