The Boston Celtics go on the road to take on the Chicago Bulls in an Eastern Conference showdown. The Celtics are two games back of the Heat for the top seed in the East but have only three games left to catch them. The Bulls are tied with the Raptors for the fifth seed. and have cliched the sixth spot.


Boston is still fighting for the top seed in the East but running out of time. The staus of Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown should be monitored as they both were listed as questionable before Sunday’s game but both played and played well. Earlier in the season, Chicago looked like a team to beat but injuries have had a major effect on the team. Ball is out and may not return this season, Caruso is doubtful with a bad back and LaVine sat out yesterday's game. Chicago has clinched the sixth seed so Lavine and or Derozan could sit this one out. Chicago just can't beat good teams. They are 2-19 facing the top four teams in both the East and West. Boston has won 12 of their last 15 games. I like the Celtics to get the win and cover in this one.

Play on Boston. This is a 7* play.
