Series Notes:

  • The HEAT and Bulls meet for the first of three matchups this regular season.
  • Last season, Miami swept the series, 4-0, and has currently won five-straight against Chicago, including eight of the last nine overall.
  • The HEAT are 62-60 all-time versus the Bulls during the regular season, including 36-25 in home games and 26-35 in road games.

What to watch for:

  • Entering tonight, Miami has recorded a 15-7 (.682) all-time record when opening the season at home, including seven-straight wins, the third-longest active streak in the NBA. The HEAT have not lost a season opener at home since 2007. Additionally, Miami’s .682 season opening home win percentage ties the seventh-highest in NBA history (minimum 10 games).
  • Tonight marks as just the third time Miami will open a season against the Bulls, as the teams have split the previous two openers (2006 & 2013) with the HEAT as the defending champions in both prior occurrences. Additionally, all three openers against Chicago will have taken place in Miami.
  • Miami will open the 2022-23 season with four consecutive home games, the longest streak of home games to start a season in team history.
