*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Sunday evening, January 8th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Monday, January 9th.
Chicago Bulls
In a bit of an oddity, the Bulls won against a team without a winning record, something they haven’t typically done this season. Rather, most of their wins have occurred against the better teams.
Case in point, they’ve already beaten the Celtics twice
Chicago scores 115.1 points per game ranking 12th while they shoot 49.0% from the field and 37.7% from the perimeter ranking fourth and sixth respectively.
Defense
Defensively, they allow 115.5 points per game ranking 19th. Their opponents shoot 47.7% from the field and 37.2% from the perimeter ranking 22nd and 29th respectively.
In any case, Alex Caruso (ankle) is questionable while Tony Bradley (personal) was upgraded to probable while Javonte Green (knee) is out on Friday. Lonzo Ball (knee) is out.
Boston Celtics
It certainly wasn’t the easy win the Celtics were expecting but they managed to beat the Spurs and gain the split on their brief four-game road trip.
At the same time Jayson Tatum has struggled with some cold shooting performances of late, but his overall production remains impressive with him averaging 30.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.
Tatum attempts 21.3 field goals connecting at 47.1%, 9.1 perimeter shots with a 34.6% success rate, and gets to the line 8.7 times per game shooting 86.0%.
Offense
As a result, the Celtics’ stats wavered a bit with their recent struggles but not enough to be overly concerning.
They’ve reclaimed the best point production average with 118.8 points per game. In terms of efficiency, they shoot 47.9% from the field and 37.3% from the perimeter ranking ninth and seventh respectively.
Slowly but surely, the Celtics’ defensive stats are improving as well. Opponents average 113.0 points per game which ranks 13th. Celtics opponents are limited to 47.0 percent from the field and 35.6% from the perimeter which ranks 16th and 12th overall.
Additionally, JD Davison and Mfiondu Kabengele are on G League assignment. Danilo Gallinari (ACL repair) is out indefinitely.

Free Chicago Bulls vs. Boston Celtics NBA Prediction:
While the Celtics are struggling a bit of late they still managed to return home with a split and will have earmarked this game on the calendar because losing once to the Bulls is acceptable, twice raised a red flag but there is no way they’ll accept losing the series (or three times).
Indeed, the 8.5 points is a big margin to clear so while I’m picking the Celts to win I think it’ll be by a lower differential.
