There are seven NBA games on Monday and the highlight sees Eastern Conference leaders Miami Heat entertain closest challengers Chicago Bulls.
Miami are 5/8 to win in the Money Line and the Bulls can be backed at 7/5.
The two teams have traded places at the top of the East over the last few weeks and the Heat currently hold a one-game lead over the Bulls.
Heat have seasonal edge
Chicago have lost both of their previous meetings with Miami this season and saw a six-game winning run ended by Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday.
The Bulls are six games ahead of Toronto Raptors in seventh place and look set to qualify automatically for the play-offs, but it remains to be seen as to whether they can be serious challengers in the post-season.
Chicago are 2-8 against teams currently in the top six in the East and 4-6 against teams currently in the top six in the West, meaning they have a 6-14 overall record against play-off teams.
