Boston at Chicago

Premium Pick

Boston has won and covered the last four meetings, including 111-82 on Nov. 14 and it went UNDER by 20 points.  The Celtics have rebounded from a slow start to the season and have won and covered four in a row following Thursday's 128-100 blowout win over New York. Kyrie Irving scored 22 points and Al Horford added 19 points and 12 rebounds and Jaylen Brown returned after missing three games with a back injury and scored 21 points. Chicago got its first win for the new coach, Jim Boylen, beating Oklahoma City 114-112 on Friday night. Lauri Markkanen scored 24 points for the Bulls, who snapped a seven-game losing streak. However, it puts the Bulls in a letdown situation as they still aren't a good team and can't be expected to beat and cover against two of the top teams in the NBA on consecutive nights. The Bulls are 6-1 UNDER their last seven games with no rest and the UNDER is 21-8 the last 29 meetings at Chicago. Play the Celtics and UNDER.
