The Bulls had salt thrown on their wound last night when Zach LaVine got injured. Now Chicago, who's lost two in a row, has to go on the road to play the Boston Celtics. Boston is fighting to be at .500. With the Bulls hurting, tonight would be a great opportunity for the Celtics to steal a game against the East's elite. Can they get the job done?

Bulls vs. Celtics Prediction and Pick

Even though Zach LaVine is out, I'm still going to take the Bulls to at least cover. The Celtics are one of the most inconsistent teams in the league. Last night, they were held under 100 points by the Philadelphia 76ers. I don't think the offense will look that sluggish, as the Bulls' defense has struggled heavily as of late, but they still are not to be trusted.

Boston is only 7-11 ATS as a home favorite this season. Meanwhile, the Bulls are 7-5 ATS after a loss. After the blowout loss to the Warriors last night, the Bulls will be motivated. This is a great spot to get and DeMar DeRozan props, as he's set up for a great game.

Pick: Bulls +6 (-110)
