Boston Celtics vs. Chicago Bulls Prediction, Odds and Tips

The reigning NBA champions bring their six-game winning streak to Chicago on Friday night and look to win their sixth meeting in seven games against the Bulls. Everything is fine with the Celtics right now. Their offense is firing on all cylinders and setting all sorts of 3-point records. Additionally, they brought Kristaps Porzingis back from injury, adding another versatile weapon to an already historically great offense. Even the defense has improved in the last three games, holding two of three opponents under 100 points.

It will be difficult to keep the Bulls under 100 points as Chicago plays at the fastest pace in the NBA, averaging 104.9 possessions per game. However, this resulted in only 8 wins in the first 20 games of the season, which was only enough for 10th place in the East. Zach LaVine does his best to fill the stat sheet; He could be on the trade hold before the deadline while the Bulls decide whether or not to tank the rest of the way.

We have the most efficient offense in the NBA that can compete with the fastest offense. So the logical conclusion is to support the over, right? This bet paid off five times, seven times for Boston, and six times, nine times paid out for the Bulls. These are the two best teams this season at threes per game. The Celtics are averaging 18.9 points per game while the Bulls are averaging 16.3 points per game. The finish line was set quite high at 241.5 points, but both teams should have enough firepower to exceed that number. Back to the points.
