Boston at Chicago

The Boston Celtics are a hot team right now. Despite going into last night's game off a huge emotional win vs. the Heat, they brought the defense, and slowed down a Spurs team that had averaged 115+ in their last four games holding, them to 87. Boston always brings the defense, and in their last nine games, four opponents did not get out of the 70s including some big offensive teams. Chicago allows the NBA’s second-best 88.8 points per game against them, and Boston is not an offensive force. The Bulls will likely be without the services of Derrik Rose once again, so the emphasis here will be on the defensive end of the court. Boston is now 7-3 to the UNDER on no rest as well as 5-1 to the UNDER in their last six as a dog. These teams play low and ugly with the last five in Chicago staying UNDER the total. Play the UNDER.
