Key to series: First Tom Brady, and now this? Garnett’s injury takes title No. 18 out of play, but the Celtics should have enough juice to get by the Bulls. The battle at point guard should be ferocious, with Rose and Rajon Rondo both at full throttle.

Playoff Gambling Trends: Boston has gone more than a month since losing at home, but has been a lousy cover team since the Kevin Garnett injury. The Bulls were on a pretty good late-season run until the burp against the Raptors cost them one spot in the East seedings and forced a matchup with Boston instead of Orlando.
How Boston wins: Without Kevin Garnett the Celtics bigs turn it up a notch and still dominate inside.
How Chicago wins: The Bulls get balanced scoring from Ben Gordon, Derrick Rose and John Salmons. The Celtics suck wind as Chicago turns the series into the Indy 500.
Prediction: Boston in 6.
