Bulls vs. Celtics Prediction & Pick

The Celtics come into this game winners of nine stright games, while the Bulls have lost four in a row. I don't expect much to change tonight. Boston actually beat Chicago on November 4th to begin this wining streak, although only by four points at the TD Garden. Now, eight additional and consecutive wins later, Boston is playing with much more confidence, winning all but two of those eight games since they last played Chicago by at least six points.

Prediction: Celtics 122 | Bulls 108

Bulls vs. Celtics Best Bet

Yes Jayson Tatum is coming off back-to-back 19-point performances, but he is still averaging 30.3 points on the season and 30.0 points per game over his last 10 games. Additionally, Tatus dropped 31 on these same Bulls when they faced off last time and is averaging 29.7 points in road games this season. A lot of things point to Tatum hitting the over on his point total this evening.

Bet: Jayson Tatum Over 27.5 Points (-115)
