The campaign has just begun, but the Celtics seem to want to waste no time in proving that this year they want to win the title that had slipped through their fingers last year against the Warriors.
To achieve their goals, they have deployed one of the most feared offenses in the entire league, being second in average points per game with 120.3 , and scoring more than 120 points in six of their last consecutive victories.
In their most recent game on Friday night against the Pelicans, the Celtics shot 48.2% from the field and 43.5% from long distance, while all five starters reached double digits in points, including a double-double from Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.
On the defensive side, Boston has not been as solid as it had been last season, which was the key to win the Eastern Conference. However, the 113.0 points allowed per commitment have been more than enough to support the powerful offense.
Betting on the Chicago Bulls
- Regular season record: 6-10.
- Spread: +6.5
- BetMGM Moneyline: +195.
- Over/Under: 226.5.
The Bulls are going through a very difficult moment, and the game against the Celtics seems to be the one they need to overcome this bad times and get bak on track for the campaign.
On Friday night, the Chicago team lost its sixth game of the last seven it has played. At home, it now has a negative record, losing for the third consecutive time.
One of the Bulls’ problems in recent games has been their defense, which has allowed the third highest percentage in long distance shooting at 38.6% and the sixth highest in field goal shooting at 47.8% .
To that, we can add that in the last seven games their offense has only surpassed 115 points on one occasion, while their opponents have done it four times.
