Both teams are coming off losses and are looking to pickup a win going into the weekend.

Chicago

The Bulls come into this game with a 9-6 record, which at the beginning of the year they would have considered disappointing but with the injuries they have suffered it should be considered good. Rose has not been healthy along with Gibson and Noah. Rose has played extremely limited minutes because of an ankle sprain, strained hamstring, and fatigue.

With the major pieces of the team sitting on the bench someone had to step up. That someone would be Jimmy Butler. He is averaging 21.6 points per game on 50% shooting. He is coming off a career-high 32 points in the loss to Denver on Tuesday.

The addition of Pau Gasol has proved to be effective. Gasol is averaging 19.3 points per game to go along with 10.5 rebounds. He has fit right in to Coach Thibodeau’s system which preaches defense and good shot selection.

The bench has had to step up in the absence of the starters being out. The key to the Bulls success on offense is passing the ball.

[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

They are 9th in the league in assists per contest with 22.

Boston

In the last matchup against the Bulls, the Celtics picked up a 106-101 victory. Rajon Rondo has been the facilitator, averaging 10.7 assists per game. They have received major contributions from Kelly Olynyk and Jared Sullinger, who respectively average 11.8 and 16.0 points per game.

The young Celtics roster is undergoing a learning process. Most of the team is fresh out of college and are still adapting to professional ball. They have dropped five of their last six and the only win in that stretch came against the winless 76ers. Boston has lost their previous four home games and are trying to avoid losing their fifth for the first time since 2007.

Coach Brad Stevens wants his team to start on the defensive end and then worry about their offense. However, they are one of the worst 3-point shooting teams in the league shooting nearly 30% from beyond the arc. When they figure out a way to score points without the 3-point line they are quite efficient. The Celtics are averaging 104.7 points per game which is good for 5th in the league.

[dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

They rank #1 in the NBA in assists with almost 26 per contest. This is mostly thanks to star point guard Rajon Rondo.

NBA Handicapping Trends

  • Boston is 2-5 ATS in their last seven games.
  • Total has gone over in 8 of last 9 Celtics’ games.
  • Chicago is 5-1 SU in their last six games.
  • Total has gone over in 10 of last 15 Bulls’ games.

NBA Gambling Prediction

This will be these two teams second matchup of four this season. After Boston took game one I expect Chicago to come back and take this one. Despite all the injuries the Bulls have a good enough team to come out and get this win. Expect Jimmy Butler to be the leading scorer for the Bulls and Pau Gasol to be a force in the paint.

Free 4* NBA Betting Pick: Bulls Pick

Expect a high scoring game with a finish that might come down to the final minutes. Boston has struggled this year on defense and will have a problem stopping Gasol and Butler.

Celtics vs Bulls Odds

The Chicago Bulls have been one of the best teams in the NBA following the All-Star break, and the Boston Celtics—a team that once looked like a contender for home-court advantage in a historically bad Eastern Conference—are now 12th out East.

Things just keep getting worse for the Celtics, as they are not only coming off a shocking loss to the weak Charlotte Hornets, but they lost another guard in Leandro Barbosa, who was recently lost for the season with a knee injury.

NBA Basketball Matchup:  Celtics vs  Bulls

Still, the Celtics will have a difficult game against the Bulls in Chicago. Kevin Garnett missed last night’s game for the Celtics, and he is questionable for this one. These teams have split their last six meetings with each other. Boston beat the Bulls 95-91 on Sunday, so Chicago will be looking for revenge in this one.

Boston has benefited nicely from the return of point guard Rajon Rondo. Rondo is arguably the team’s best player at this point, and he is the facilitator for the offense. Rondo averages 9.8 assists per game. Paul Pierce leads the Celtics in scoring at 17.8 per contest. Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo, and Kevin Garnett all average about 14 points per game. Brandon Bass is out until the end of the month, and that is a significant loss for the Celtics in the paint. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

Boston has been winning with defense of late. Last night’s loss to Detroit was unexplainable, and Boston will have to play much better if they expect to win this one on the road.

The Bulls miss Derrick Rose in a big way, but this is still a decent team without Rose. Luol Deng put up 23 points Tuesday against Sacramento, and he seems to be fully healthy once again.

Chicago has no shortage of quality big men with Joakim Noah, Carlos Boozer, Taj Gibson, and Omer Asik. Kyle Korver and C.J. Watson are both shooting it very well from deep this year for the Bulls, but it is much more difficult for them to get open looks without Rose in the lineup.

The Bulls are one of the best rebounding teams in the league, and they will need to control the glass to win this game.

The Bulls are 10-1 at home, and the Celtics are notoriously bad on the back end of a back-to-back. I think Chicago will dominate in the paint and win this one.

Prediction: Chicago 91 Boston 87

Key to series:  First Tom Brady, and now this? Garnett’s injury takes title No. 18 out of play, but the Celtics should have enough juice to get by the Bulls. The battle at point guard should be ferocious, with Rose and Rajon Rondo both at full throttle.
