The Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls are set to battle it out at TD Garden in an NBA clash. The Celtics are in third place in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Bulls are in ninth place. Here's our match prediction.

The Boston Celtics are the third-best team in the East this season. So far, they've won 22 of their last 34 matches. At home, they've won ten of their last 15 matches, while notching 12 wins in 19 road games.

The Celtics have won eight of their last nine matches heading into this clash. The only blemish during this run was a 114-108 away defeat to the Blazers. 

In their most recent match, they managed to see off the threat of the high-flying Los Angeles Clippers. The Celtics obliterated their opponents 146-115 on the road. That result marked their third consecutive win.

The Chicago Bulls, on the other hand, have been inconsistent in the past few weeks. In their last five games, they've suffered three losses.

Their recent match was against the Charlotte Hornets. The outcome was far from inspiring as they suffered a 112-99 home defeat. Before this result, they were on a two-match winning streak.

The Bulls, however, should be optimistic about returning to the winning column. In unfamiliar territory, they've won each of their last four matches. This comes after losing four straight games.
