Boston Celtics at Chicago Bulls - 4/6/22 NBA Picks and Prediction

The Boston Celtics invade the United Center to do battle with the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.

The Boston Celtics have been in red-hot form as they’ve won 13 of their last 16 games and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after routing the Wizards in a 144-102 win on Sunday. Jaylen Brown led the team with 32 points, seven rebounds and five assists, Jayson Tatum added 22 points with seven assists while Derrick White chipped in with 17 points off the bench. As a team, the Celtics shot a sizzling 61 percent from the field and 23 of 44 from the 3-point line as they dominated right from the start, jumping out to an early double-digit lead, before they exploded for 74 points in the second half to make it a complete blowout.

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been in a rut as they’ve lost five of their last eight games and they will be hoping to stop a two-game skid after getting thrashed by the Bucks in a 127-106 loss last night. DeMar DeRozan led the team with 40 points and six assists on 16 of 26 shooting, Patrick Williams added 18 points on seven of nine shooting while Coby White chipped in with 13 points off the bench. As a team, the Bulls shot just 42 percent from the field and nine of 33 from the 3-point line as they struggled to find their offense and they were always fighting an uphill battle after managing just 20 points in the first quarter to trail by double-digits going into halftime. Nikola Vucevic had a forgettable night as he scored just seven points on three of 19 shooting, while Alex Caruso finished scoreless on zero of six shooting.
