Boston at Chicago

Boston is a scoring machine. They have two of the better scorers in today's game with Szcerbiak and Pierce. All of their starters scored in double digits as they won on the 29th. They have scored over 101 ppg in their last 5 games played and are shooting at a higher field goal and higher free throw percentage than Chicago is this year. In the last 5 games, as these teams match up against one another, Boston has also gotten more rebounds per game and shot over 150% better from 3-point range (Chicago shooting less than 30% from behind the arc). This game will surely have a lot of scoring on both ends of the floor, but in the end, Pierce is likely to be the difference maker. The Bulls can score points, but their defense is not strong enough to match up and guard Pierce one on one and will leave the passing lanes open for him to work the ball to the rest of his team. Take the points in this close game as Boston has the slight edge to win SU if this becomes a shoot-out.
