Boston Celtics vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
The Boston Celtics are obviously capable of taking the Bulls behind the woodshed, but they continue to get these inflated lines and have covered just 3 of their last 10 games. The Celtics are also in a look-ahead spot with the Cavs on deck. The Chicago Bulls have covered 5 of their last 10 games, and they're kind of due for a decent effort at home, as they've been terrible at the United Center. The Celtics just aren't getting the job done in the big favorite role. Give me the points with the Bulls.
