The Chicago Bulls travel to South Beach to play the Maimi Heat at American Airlines Arena on Wednesday.

The Bulls (11-40) come into this matchup losing 14 of their last 15 games, as they've truly established themselves as one of the worst teams in the league. Most non-NBA fans would be shocked to hear that the Bulls are one of the worst teams in the league, as their franchise has taken quite the hit over recent years. They appear to be taking the right steps towards a rebuild though, as they maintain one of the best young cores in the NBA. Players like Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine, Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter Jr. have all the talent in the world, with all four players under the age of 25. That's quite the core going forward but it's not leading to wins right now. Where this young club is really struggling is on the offensive end, with Chicago ranking 29th in scoring and 27th in assists.

The Heat (24-24) got off to an ugly start this season but they've been a different team the last two months. In fact, Miami is 17-11 across their last 28 games, despite losing four of their last seven games. They've really turned into a defensive team, with Miami sitting fourth in points allowed and ninth in rebounding. While that's obviously a recipe for success, the fact that they sit 26th in scoring is a discouraging sign. The main reason for that is the fact that they have no go-to scorer, as Josh Richardson is leading this team with 17.5 points per game. Riding a bunch of role players is not the way the NBA is trending but Miami is making it work right now.

Not only has Miami won both their games over Chicago this season, but they've also won six of their last seven games over them in total.
