The Chicago Bulls and the Boston Celtics duke it out at the TD Garden on Wednesday night. Here’s a Chicago Bulls vs Boston Celtics Prediction. This article will include a Chicago Bulls vs Boston Celtics Pick.
Chicago BullsÂ
The Chicago Bulls have been in a real slump as they’ve lost seven of their last nine games overall, but they will be breathing a major sigh of relief after outlasting the Nuggets in a 129-121 upset win on Monday. Zach LaVine led the team with 21 points and six assists on six of 13 shooting, Nikola Vucevic added 20 points with 10 rebounds and six assists, Lonzo Ball scored 18 points while Josh Giddey tallied 12 points with 10 assists. As a team, the Bulls shot 50 percent from the field and a sizzling 24 of 53 from the 3-point line as they did their best to stay within striking distance until they caught fire with 68 points in the second half to pull off the much-needed win at home.
Boston Celtics
Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics have been in decent shape as they’ve won three of their past five games overall, but they will be looking to bounce back in this one after falling painfully short of the Rockets in a 114-112 home defeat on Monday. Jaylen Brown led the team with 28 points, Jayson Tatum added 19 points with seven assists while Luke Kornet chipped in with 18 points on eight of nine shooting. As a team, the Celtics shot 48 percent from the field and 15 of 39 from the 3-point line they seemed to have the game under control when they poured in 37 points in the third quarter to lead by 12 points, but they never put the Rockets away and it cost them in the final second where the Rockets’ Amen Thompson made the game-winning shot. The Celtics will take on the Pels after this game.

Chicago Bulls vs Boston Celtics Prediction
The Bulls are still missing Zach LaVine due to personal reasons and they have Coby White listed as questionable, while the Celtics are keeping an eye on Sam Hauser, Al Horford, and Jayson Tatum who are all questionable. This is certainly one of those games where you should check the lineups before tipoff given the number of players currently under an injury cloud. With that being said, the Celtics are obvious heavy favorites at home and I can’t see anything but a win for them here, but the Bulls are capable of making this a close contest if they play like they did in Monday’s win over the Nuggets. Give me the Celtics to get the win, but the Bulls to hang around long enough to get the backdoor cover.
