Advice and prediction
The Bulls haven’t yet been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, but it would take a miracle for Chicago to sneak into the play-in tournament at this stage as they trail the No. 10 Wizards by 3.5 games.
From a betting perspective, Celtics-Bulls should prove to be an interesting matchup. Chicago has struggled offensively of late, and the under has hit in five consecutive Bulls games, with Chicago failing to break 100 points in four of their last five. The Celtics, on the other hand, have hit the over in six straight, and have scored 132+ points in two of their last three games.
Boston is still inherently unpredictable, but I don’t think the Bulls can keep pace with the Celtics offensively. Take the Celtics -4.
Prediction: Celtics 119, Bulls 104
