Boston beat Chicago 134-99 at TD Garden on Monday. The two meet in the same building on Friday, this time in an East Group C game in the NBA Cup<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Celtics are 3-0 at home. The Bulls have lost three straight and have given up 130.2 points a game. That is the worst defensive record in the league, and the Bulls vs Celtics game starts with that problem.<\/p>\n\n\n

Players to watch<\/h2>\n

Jayson Tatum, Boston.<\/strong> Seventy-six points in his last two games.<\/p>\n

Norman Powell, Chicago.<\/strong> Twenty or more in four of five games, and the Bulls’ most reliable scorer.<\/p>\n\n\n

Score prediction<\/h2>\n

Celtics 121-106 Bulls.<\/strong> Last season’s ratings and home court make Boston about a 15-point favourite. Monday’s 35-point win doesn’t move us further, because big margins rarely repeat.<\/p>\n

Bulls vs Celtics prediction<\/h2>\n

Chicago’s defence is the problem the Bulls haven’t solved. Boston has more scorers and has rested.<\/p>\n

Our pick: Boston to win, the Celtics at -12.5 or shorter.<\/strong> No total pick. Chicago’s games average 244 points, but Boston plays at one of the slowest paces in the league.<\/p>\n
