The match between Boston and Chicago is one of the most interesting games in the East. Of course, Ime Udoka’s team does not give the impression as being one of the best teams of the conference from the first games of the season, but with the current selection of players they will go for play-offs. The meeting is scheduled for 00:30 UK time.
Possible line-ups for the match:
Boston Celtics:
G – Marcus Smart; G – Jaylen Brown; F – Jayson Tatum; F – Al Horford; C – Robert Williams III.
Chicago Bulls:
G – Lonzo Ball, G – Zach LaVine, F – DeMar DeRozan, F – Patrick Williams, C – Nikola Vucevic.
Boston Celtics:
The Boston Celtics had a poor start to the season, picking up just two wins in the six games.
The day before, the Celtics lost to Washington (112-115), although they were very close.

The only bright side of the recent loss was the performances of both Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown, who scored 27 and 34 points, respectively.
Tatum and Brown have a lack of support from their partners at the start of the season, and, if nothing changes, the Celtics could be without the playoffs at the end of the season.
Chicago Bulls:
Chicago Bulls have a five-game winning streak in six matches at the start of the season, making them one of the Eastern Conference leaders.
In their last game, the Bulls played amazingly against Utah (107-99), proving to themselves that they can play even against elite teams.

DeMar, DeRozan, and Zach LaVine scored 32 and 26 points to secure the result, and point guard Lonzo Ball and centre Nikola Vucevic played their roles well, so head coach Billy Donovan should be satisfied.
The Chicago Bulls have Patrick Williams and Kobe White recovering from injuries.
Boston Celtics vs Chicago Bulls statistics:
Chicago is 27th in the league in losses per game at 15.1, Boston at 14.1. However, after a poor game against Toronto (25 losses), the home team has not allowed more losses than the opponent in three games in a row.
In the last five head-to-head games, the teams have never scored more than 222 points.
Boston Celtics vs Chicago Bulls Tips:
The fact that the teams will play at TD Garden Arena doesn’t really matter.
DeRozan’s game against Utah Jazz should serve as a reminder to everyone else that Chicago has finally added depth to their squad. The Bulls now have several players capable of scoring around 30 points when needed.
This is a big problem for the Celtics, as they have never adjusted their defensive game, allowing their opponents to score 118.3 points per game on average.
Our first prediction and bet is the Bulls’ win with the odds of 2.14 with the VBet bookmaker.
Our second prediction is Bulls’ individual total points over 108.5.
