The Chicago Bulls opened their series against the Boston Celtics winning the first two games. They have since lost three straight, and face elimination tonight at home. Boston became the first team in this series to win at home in Game 5, and look for the close out tonight. The series turned when Rajon Rondo went out with a hand injury. Rondo was instrumental in Chicago's two wins, averaging nearly a triple-double, and the Bulls just don't have a trustworthy point guard right now. The Celtics have been great all season as a road favorite where they have gone 16-8 ATS, and even better in an anticipated close game, going 11-2 ATS to a road favorite line of -3 or less. Chicago has had no answers at point guard since the Rondo injury, and I don't expect them to find one tonight. Play on Boston.
