Chicago Bulls vs. Boston Celtics Best Picks
Zach LaVine has been dealing with some knee injury management to the point where he has already missed three games because of it and is unable to get into a groove.
He is scoring 21.5 points per game right on the nose and that is a bit of an issue as they are trying to step up. In his previous game against Charlotte, he was 4-of-16 from the floor and is now sitting at 41.6 percent from the field this season.
LaVine has failed to hit 22+ points in two of his last three games. Boston is an average NBA team in terms of defense. Expect guys like center Nikola Vucevic and small forward DeMar DeRozan to step up and take most of the shots and lead the way offensively in this game.
Zach LaVine to Score Under 21.5 Points (-105)
Chicago Bulls vs. Boston Celtics Prediction
The Chicago Bulls have been a solid team throughout the start of the season and the only player expected to miss this game is center Andre Drummond with a shoulder injury. The defenses as of late should tell us the whole story as the Bulls are giving up 93.5 points in their last two games while the Celtics are allowing 113.3 points in their previous three games.
Chicago are currently 5-1 against the spread in their last six games against Boston, so this feels like a great spot to get a handful of points and potentially win the game outright.
Pick: Chicago Bulls +7.5 (-115)
