The Boston Celtics will play host to the Chicago Bulls at TD Garden this Wednesday (Feb. 11) in what will be the first game for both former Bulls big man Nikola Vucevic and Celtics guard alum Anfernee Simons where each faces their former ball club on the court this season. In it, the Celtics will be looking to get back in the win column after seeing one of their longest streaks of the season snapped by the New York Knicks.
The Bulls will be looking to snap a streak as well, having not won a contest since the month of January. We expect a Boston win, but one can never play down to teams in the NBA, either.
