Miami Heat vs. Chicago Bulls The Miami Heat (36-14, 26-24 ATS) are in the midst of probably their best regular season stretch since LeBron James arrived and they look to keep it going vs. the Chicago Bulls (31-22, 23-30 ATS) at the United Center in Chicago Thursday at 8:05 ET on TNT. The Heat have often gone through the motions during the regular season since LeBron came to South Beach two seasons ago but they are looking like the defending champions that they are much earlier than usual this season. Meanwhile, the Bulls have not enjoyed too much of a home court advantage this year as they are just 15-12 straight up and a miserable 7-20 ATS at the United Center.The Heat carried a seven-game winning streak into a road date with the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday and James has had probably the best seven-game stretch in NBA history over the winning streak. And no that is not an exaggeration as James set an NBA record by scoring at least 30 points and hitting at least 60 percent from the field in six consecutive games over the first six wins of the streak and he nearly extended that steak to seven, as he missed a late three-point attempt in a 110-100 win at Oklahoma City in an NBA Finals rematch last Thursday to finish 14-for-24 from the field (58.3 percent) while scoring 39 points! Besides James and the Heat being in raging current form, this is also a revenge game for them as the Bulls won the first meeting this season 96-89 down in South Beach on January 4th, well before the current Miami hot streak began. That win actually makes the Bulls 6-2 straight up and 7-1 ATS in the last eight regular season meetings between these two teams, but the Heat won four out of five when it mattered most in the 2010-11 NBA Playoffs and Miami's regular season form has never been as close to its playoff form as it is now during Chicago's success against the Heat.For whatever reason, the Bulls simply cannot shoot the ball at home this season and that is the reason for their struggles in the Windy City. The defense has been fine no matter where the Bulls have played as they rank third in the league in points allowed overall with 91.5 per game, third in field goal percentage allowed at 43.3 percent and third in three-point defense. Moreover, the defense has been suffocating at home where Chicago is allowing 88.9 points per game. However, the Bulls rank 27th in the league in scoring with 93.2 points per game, and while most teams shoot the ball better at home that they do on the road, the Bulls' scoring inexplicably slips to 91.8 points per game at home! In fact, in a real statistical oddity especially in the NBA, Chicago has a better road record (16-10) than it does a home record. The Bulls won their first game out of the All-Star break 96-87 on the road (naturally) at New Orleans Tuesday, but that was just their second straight up win in the last six games overall, dropping Chicago into second place in the Central Division, one game behind the Indiana Pacers.The Bulls are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games vs. the Southeast Division while the Heat are 5-2 ATS in their last seven road games vs. teams with winning home records.

Delaware (-2) over Drexel
7:00 PM -- Bob Carpenter Center
DELAWARE (14-13) -2 over Drexel (11-15)
Prediction: Delaware by 7-8
Played at Bob Carpenter Center (5,000) in Newark, Delaware
RPI Rank: Drexel 20th of 347 teams, Delaware 157th of 347.
Strength of Schedule Rank: Drexel 166th of 347, Delaware 151st of 347
Enrollment: Drexel (15,876), Delaware (17,120)
Starting Time: 7:05
TV: NBC Sports Network
Comments: The bottom line in this game is quite simple—Delaware is the better team and has the bonus edge of the home court. The first time these teams played, January 28, in Philadelphia, Delaware won 66-64 as a 5 ½-point underdog and should repeat that performance. The Blue Hens are in positive bounce-back form off a 72-71 home loss to James Madison (16-13) and stand 6-2 in their last eight games. Drexel remains the biggest under-achiever of the season and continues to play with its split Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality. The night should belong to a Delaware team that is at its best now.

9:00 PM -- Matthew Knight Arena
California (16-9) +5 ½ over OREGON (21-5)
Prediction: California by 4-5
Played at Matthew Knight Arena (12,514) in Eugene, Oregon
RPI Rank: California 53rd of 347 teams, Oregon 38th of 347.
Strength of Schedule Rank: California 35th of 347, Oregon 101 of 347.
Enrollment: California (36,142), Oregon (24,591)
Starting Time: 9:05
TV: ESPNU
Comments: The only question I ask about California is—why did it take the team so long to show its true talent and performance profile? The Golden Bears began the season expected to contend for the PAC-12 championship and may well do that before the clock winds down. California is a team loaded with blue-chip talent, deep in experienced and coached to the nines by Mike Montgomery, yet it took them forever to show up. California comes into this game off three straight wins—at home against USC (12-14), 76-68, and against UCLA (19-7), 76-63, and then most impressive of all, a 77-69 upset road win against nationally-ranked Arizona. While I believe California, playing at this level, will beat the Ducks in Eugene, this is not to suggest it will be easy against a team that is 15-1 at home this season and will be playing to protect its 1st-place spot in the conference standings. I believe Oregon, which has held seven opponents to 50 or less points this season, to again try to do it with defense but I don’t think that will work against an explosive California offense. It also is of note Montgomery’s California teams are 10-0 against the Ducks. California won the first game between these two rivals, getting it done, 58-54, as a 1-point favorite three weeks ago in Berkeley.

St. Mary’s (22-5) -8 over BYU (20-8)
Prediction: St. Mary’s by 13-14
Played at McKeon Pavilion (3,500) in Moraga, California
RPI Rank: BYU 61st of 347 teams, St. Mary’s 49th of 347.
Strength of Schedule Rank: BYU 93rd of 347, St. Mary’s 132nd of 347.
Enrollment: BYU (33,336), St. Mary’s (2,996)
Starting Time: 7:05
TV: ESPN2
Comments: There is no dispute St. Mary’s has for years been offended by the lack of respect for its truly outstanding big-time basketball program which year after year, rightfully or wrongly, plays second fiddle to fellow West Coast Conference rival Gonzaga. Of note is the fact the Gaels are 14-2 in their last 16 games and both losses came at the hands of Gonzaga—and that hurts. St. Mary’s figures to bring it all tonight because this nationally televised (ESPN2) game against a name opponent gives it the opportunity to try to introduce itself again to the nation’s basketball world. This is a decent BYU team, but by no means an outstanding one. St. Mary’s beat the Cougars, 70-69, four weeks ago in Provo as a 5-point underdog and are set to do a repeat performance tonight. BYU just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
