Our Chicago Bulls vs Boston Celtics Prediction
Our prediction for the Chicago Bulls v the Boston Celtics is that the Boston Celtics wins. This match sees two teams that are in strong form face off. The Bulls have won their last three matches, whereas the Celtics have lost just once in their last five games.
Chicago will be a tough opponent to break down, but we fancy the away team, which has been more consistent this season, to come away with the win. The Celtics have won 28 games and have the Eastern Conference’s second-best record, whereas their hosts have lost 22 times and are six games behind them. Boston, which is much healthier for this clash, has a dominant recent record against Chicago.
