Chicago Bulls (12-15) and Boston Celtics (21-5) will clash for the second time in less than 48 hours when they meet at the United Center. The Bulls will look to pick up a morale-boosting win against the champs and continue their quest to reach the .500 record. They are on a two-game winning run after beating the Raptors by a 1-point margin earlier in the week. Nikola Vucevic was their leading performer after bagging 24 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists. The Celtics, meanwhile, are still chasing the Cavs on top of the standings, sitting just 1.5 games behind the leaders. They have won eight of their last 10 matches. They defeated the Wizards 112-98 on the road last time out, with Jayson Tatum scoring 28 points and 12 rebounds. There's no room for slip-ups for the Celtics.
