Two Eastern Conference playoff teams that have dealt with injury woes in recent weeks will battle on Sunday afternoon as the Chicago Bulls (43-36) travel south to take on the Miami Heat (63-16). Chicago leads the season series 2-1.
The final game of the regular-season series will depend a lot which stars actually suit up. The Heat had LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh available in Friday's win over the Boston Celtics. Chicago is still holding out hope Derrick Rose will return this season.
Since both teams have already clinched playoff berths, and Miami has locked down the top seed in the East, they probably won't overextend anybody with an eye on the postseason. In other words, it probably won't have the same intensity as a normal clash, unless the Heat want to make a statement.
Here's a look at all the key information for the game, followed by an injury report for both teams, some players to watch and a prediction.
Where: American Airlines Arena in Miami, Fla.
