The Boston Celtics have gotten off to a good start after trading away Jaylen Brown to the Sixers over the offseason. They are 3-1, Jayson Tatum is continuing his superstar play, and they now host the Chicago Bulls tonight, which should be a relatively easy win.
The Bulls are just 1-4 on the season and are one of the worst shooting teams in the NBA. After losing their 1st game of the season, they picked up a road win over the Milwaukee Bucks 132-125. The Bucks may be one of the worst teams in the NBA by the end of the year. They then lost their next 3 games to the Wizards, Celtics, and Knicks. That loss to the Celtics was on the road again and had an ugly 134-99 final score. They trailed by 12 points after the 1st quarter and were never able to crawl back into the game.
Boston lost their opener to a very tough Detroit Pistons team. Since then, they have rattled off 3 straight wins over the Knicks, Bulls, and the Nets. Granted, the Knicks win was the only truly respectable win. The Bulls and Nets are far inferior to this Celtics team. That said, it took a mental mistake by the Nets and a buzzer-beating jumper by Tatum to pick up their latest win. That is likely not going to be needed tonight as they are around a 15-point favorite here against the Bulls. After defeating them by 35 in the 1st meeting, it is certainly possible they cover the number here.

Our Boston Celtics vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
While we fully expect the Celtics to win this game handily, we think it will be a lower-scoring game in which they get the job done. Chicago is shooting just 42% from the field, which is 29th in the NBA. From three, they are ranked even worse overall at 30th. We think they will hang around early as the Celtics will be coming off that wild buzzer-beating win and will keep this one lower-scoring.
Our prediction for Boston Celtics vs Chicago Bulls: Under 234.5
