Boston Celtics
Without any special problems, Boston won the last two matches. The Celts confidently coped with Dallas (124:95) and then defeated San Antonio (121:116). This was enough to keep the first line in the East. The match against “Chicago” wards of Joe Mazzulla risked spending without Marcus Smart. Boston’s point guard suffered a minor injury in his last game against the Spurs. He has some problems with his left knee. It is likely that no one will risk his health, so he will miss the next fight.

In addition, the Bulls beat Philadelphia (126:112) and Utah (126:118). Recent successes have allowed Chicago to return to the top 10 of the Eastern Conference. Now the Bulls have 19 wins.

Prediction
Our expert pick:
As a rule, at home, Boston confidently beats its rivals. In recent home matches, Joe Mazzulla's wards left no chance for Milwaukee, Minnesota and Houston. It is unlikely that Chicago will perform better, because Donovan's wards are still far from their optimal game form. Our prediction is for "Boston" with a handicap of (-7) points for odds of 1.74 in BC 1xBet. At home, Boston does not allow opponents to feel free in attack. The Celtics are pretty solid defensively. It is likely that Mazzulla's wards will be able to shut off oxygen to the forwards of the guests. The second prediction is for the total under 240.5 points for 1.66.
