So much for home-court advantage. The Bulls try to shake a 4-game losing skid at United Center against the visiting Celtics.
The Bulls play into revenge Saturday, after handing Boston a 106-102 defeat in the last meeting back on December 2, 2005.
Oddsmakers like the Bulls in this one, opening the line at 5 in favor of Chicago. They are 11-11 this season, while the Celtics are 9-13.
Last time out, at TD Banknorth Garden against Milwaukee, the Celtics as favorites lost to the Bucks 100-96. The game was an under play.
Scott Skiles's troops were at Detroit against the Pistons last game and came away with an 110-82 loss, a game that went under 193. Oddsmakers had them as 9-point underdogs in that one.
Some trends to consider:
Boston is 1-7-0 ATS in its last 8 games after scoring 90 to 100 points
Boston is 1-4-0 OU in its last 5 away
Boston is 2-6-0 SU in its last 8 games after scoring 90 to 100 points
Boston is 3-8-0 OU in its last 11 games against Chicago
Chicago is 6-2-0 ATS in its last 8 games after being 7.5 to 10 point underdogs
Chicago is 8-3-0 ATS in its last 11 home games against Boston
Chicago is 5-2-0 SU in its last 7 games after being 7.5 to 10 point underdogs
Chicago is 13-6-0 ATS in its last 19 games against Boston
Next up:
Boston home to Golden State, Monday, December 19
Chicago home to Charlotte, Tuesday, December 20
