Celtics vs Bulls Prediction
The Celtics have won and covered machines over the past month, and they’re not a team I’m looking forward to going against. However, the Celtics have Holiday, Horford and Tatum questionable as of this writing. It’s hard to put much chalk with the Celtics on the road if they’re in danger of losing three key players. The Bulls have 18 home wins this season and have covered 7 of the last 10 games against the Celtics. Caruso and White were upgraded to probable for the Bulls. I would go for the points with the Bulls.
