Good evening to all. At TD Garden in Boston Celtics welcome them Bulls, on 02: 30 Tuesday morning.
Return to victories for them Celtics, which after 3 unsuccessful results, overpowered the Pelicans 140-105 very easily. Awesome appearance by Tatum who stopped at 41 career points with 16/22 shots and 6/9 three-pointers. At the same time, Kemba seems to be recovering with a second consecutive good game after injury issues and a bug that has plagued him, with Brad Stevens' team filling up again. 26-11 is the record for the Celtics now in 2nd place in the Eastern District, while at home they run the impressive 15-3.
The Bulls in turn, they also broke a negative six-match series with a 6-99 win over the Pistons in Detroit. Zach Lavine was the Bulls' top scorer for yet another game. Jim Boylen's performance against teams with a positive record, such as tonight's opponent, is frustrating as they measure just 108 win and 1 defeats. 15-14 overall Bulls record 26th in the Eastern District, 10 games behind the Magic 4,5s.
The two teams clashed again 10 days ago in Chicago with the Celtics winning 104-111.
In summary, the home side will probably want to rebuild a positive series and momentum after winning the Pelicans, and tonight is offered as a first-class opportunity. They are 100% in the match and can even cover the handicap of -10 points. Personally I decided to go with the team over 109,5 of Celtics that are aggressively rolling and Garden are trying to give their games a fast pace. After all, Brad Stevens's team averages 111,4 points per game this season, while at home it stands at 115,2.
