Chicago Bulls Team News
The Bulls, after a good start to the season and a couple of big victories, have been in very bad shape lately, in the last 7 matches, they have as many as 6 defeats. Now on their home field, they will try to end that streak, and it will not be easy for them, especially if we take into account the form of both teams.
The poor results of the Bulls came with the poor form of the main players Derozan and Lavine. The bad form of these two players led to too much soloing and forcing the game 1 to 1, and looking for a rhythm, they threw in a counter rhythm to their teammates, especially Nikola Vučević.
In the last match, they were defeated by a young and ten-strong team from Orlando, who defeated them in Chicago. Throughout the match, Orlando controlled the match, but towards the end of the match, the Bulls had as many as five points, but the Magic turned the match around and won, and continued the agony of the Bulls fans.
The main task of the Bulls is to get other players involved in the game, especially offensively, otherwise, the losing streak will continue. But in this match, they have to show character against a great Boston Celtics team.
Boston Celtics Team News
The Celtics entered this season with a lot of problems, primarily with injuries and internal team problems. Namely, coach Udoku was replaced by Joe Mazzulla. Udoka led the Celtics to the Grand Final last season, but due to a violation of team rules, he was suspended for a year. The big question was how will it look with Mazzulla. Especially since at the beginning of the season, Rob Williams, who is the first defensive five in the league, and Gallinari, who is expected to be one of the best sixth players in the league, are absent.
But, the Celtics are playing a few steps higher compared to last season, primarily offensively. First of all, thanks to the MVP games provided by Jayson Tatum, who is averaging 32.3 points. Very important news for the Celtics is that Jaylen Brown returned for the Celtics in the match against Oklahoma and played a great game where he scored 26 points, and then added 28 against the Pelicans.
The Celtics are on a 9-game winning streak and have taken over first place in the East. In the last two away matches, they defeated this season’s excellent Hawks and Pelicans and showed excellent team play, where they played without four very important players from the rotation. The Celtics are strengthening their defense, and their offense is the best in the league.
What is very important for the Celtics is that the defense, which is their trademark, is not yet playing at even 50% of their capabilities. Also, the support staff does their job brilliantly. Grant Williams, Hauser, and White, all make great contributions on both ends of the court.

Chicago Bulls vs. Boston Celtics Prediction
The Bulls will be without Lonzo Ball, while the Celtics will be without Gallinari and Williams, while Smart is questionable.
The Bulls have been playing very poorly lately, especially defensively, and the best-attacking team in the league is visiting them. We expect the Celtics to win because form and quality are on their side.
