Two of the Eastern Conference’s most storied teams face off on Saturday as the Chicago Bulls host the Boston Celtics at the United Center. The Bulls come into this one sitting ninth in the standings at 13-15 while the Celtics are second with a record of 21-6. Let’s get into the match prediction!

This is the second time in three days that these two teams meet, with the Bulls securing a surprise 117-108 win in Boston on Thursday. That result clinched the longest winning streak of the season so far for Chicago at three games.

They’ll now look to make it four in a row, although some lackluster results in their home gym cast some doubts as to that possibility. The Bulls are just 4-9 at the United Center, compared to their stellar 9-6 road record.

The Celtics will be seeking revenge here after suffering their fourth home loss of the campaign in 15 outings so far. Boston have now lost two of their last three at the TD Garden and may very well be thankful to hit the road here.

Boston are trailing the first-place Cavaliers by 2.5 games although there is still plenty of season left. The Celtics have been a force on the offensive side of the ball and lead the league in adjusted offensive rating.
