The Celtics and Bulls will do battle in Beantown tonight, with the Celtics looking to rebound from their loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

Chicago has won two games in a row and are starting to move up the Eastern Conference standings. With the Bulls already having a win over the Celtics, how will this game go?

Let’s jump right into them. 

Best Prop Bets For Bulls-Celtics

  • Jayson Tatum OVER 4.5 Assists
  • Jaylen Brown OVER 2.5 Threes 
  • DeMar DeRozan OVER 28.5 Points + Rebounds

Jayson Tatum OVER 4.5 Assists

Tatum cleared this line in his last game and in the last matchup with the Bulls. I like this prop tonight because it gives Tatum a chance to be a playmaker against one of the better defenses in the league. The Bulls are going to try and force the ball out of Tatum’s hands. If he takes what they give him, this could be another big assist day for him. 

Jaylen Brown OVER 2.5 Threes 

Brown is expected to have a big game tonight. He’s scored 30+ points in two of his last three games, setting the stage for a good night. He’s taking around 8 threes per game over the last five games. With that kind of volume, Brown has great value tonight to be a shooter.

DeMar DeRozan OVER 28.5 Points + Rebounds

DeRozan has come back to earth this season, but he is still elite at getting to his spots on the floor to score. DeRozan is coming off a bad game (9 points), but he’s shown the ability to bounce back this year. Following the two games in which he didn’t score 20 points, he scored at least 25 points in both of them. By taking his points and rebounds, we can cash in on a potentially big scoring night and his consistent numbers on the glass.
