Game Preview

Chicago Bulls defeated the Denver Nuggets this Monday night, 129-121. It was only their third victory over the recent 10 games, which isn’t great at all. This time, the high-octane offense showed up, splashing 129 buckets.

Overall, the Bulls have the eighth-best offense in the NBA when it comes to scoring, with 116.4 points every night. The problem is the defense, which happens to be the second-worst, allowing 120 baskets. Only the Wizards sit behind the Bulls, with 122.1 allowed points per game.

The Celtics are 5-5 in the last 10, and that’s below the average for the champions, who boast a 32-15 record currently. Joe Mazzulla’s boys hosted the Houston Rockets on Monday night, losing that event 114-112.

Boston’s form is on the decline, as the Cs went 1-4 ATS in the last five games at home, which tells a lot for those who bet on the NBA. The crucial part of the season is just around the corner and the champs need to step up.

Bulls vs. Celtics Head-to-Head

This is the fourth and the last meeting between the two East conference rivals this year. The Celtics lead the series 2-1, with the note that the Bulls triumphed in Boston, 117-108, back in December.

Bulls vs. Celtics Prediction

Chicago is gifted on the offensive side, but defensively, they are nowhere near the Cs. Boston can adapt to any style, and we expect them to win here by at least 8 points.
