Vooch is good but this is a hidden value play. The pace of both teams is soooooooo slow it will cut down his opportunities between 15-20%. Plus the market has overreacted to Bam being out. The Heat are a defensive minded front line. Under.

Despite DPOY candidate Bam Adebayo being on the shelf for all of December the Heat have still been playing excellent defense and been extremely stingy against opposing Centers. Miami has played the last six games without Bam and have yet to allow an opposing Center to eclipse this combo line. Opposing Centers are averaging just 16.4 PRA. I expect this game to be slow and ugly as both Miami and Chicago rank in the bottom 5 in PACE. Look for the Heat to make life difficult on Nikola Vucevic tonight.

The Heat are normally not a good matchup for centers, but that all changes with Bam Adebayo (hip) out. Left to pick up the pieces at center are Orlando Robinson, Kevin Love and Thomas Bryant. Since Zach LaVine (foot) went down, Nikola Vucevic has recorded at least 30 combined points and rebounds in four of six games. Don’t expect the Heat’s backup big men to be able to slow him down.
