Undefeated Bulls are Underdogs vs. Celtics

The Chicago Bulls had all sorts of lineup questions entering the new NBA campaign, but a 3-0 record SU and ATS has silenced the doubters while putting some cash in the pockets of their backers. Chicago will do battle with the longtime rival Boston Celtics in hoops action on Wednesday.

Shark Bites
  • The Bulls are 8-3 SU in their last 11 games against the Celtics.
  • The total has gone OVER in six of the Bulls' last eight games against the Celtics.
  • The Celtics are 11-0 SU in their last 11 games at home after consecutive road games.

Sportsbooks opened the Bulls as 2.5-point road dogs with a total of 211.5.

Chicago is averaging 113.7 points through three wins and opened its brief two-game road trip with a 118-88 hammering of the lowly Brooklyn Nets. The Bulls knocked off Boston in a 105-99 triumph at the United Center on Tuesday, but Boston took both meetings between the clubs in Massachusetts last year.

Celtics point guard Marcus Smart, who’s been sidelined with a sprained ankle, will make his season debut in the contest. The C’s will likely lean heavily on the defensive-minded Smart to slow down sharpshooters Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade.

The Bulls are second in the NBA in assists with an average of 28.3 per game, and they’re shooting 47.2 percent from the floor as a team.
