PASS.
Avoid this play. The Celtics (-750) should come out on top but are far too pricey to consider.
BET CELTICS -13.5 (-110).
The Celtics have rewarded bettors when they’ve been a heavy favorite. They have covered in 3 straight games as a double-digit favorite and in 3 of their last 5 when favored at all.
The Bulls, short Giddey, have struggled offensively, but their main issues have come on the defensive end. Chicago has allowed at least 123 points in 5 straight contests, which won’t bode well on the road Wednesday.
Back CELTICS -13.5 (-110).
BET OVER 225.5 (-110).
The Bulls like to play fast and don’t like to defend. They have gone Over in 4 straight games, scoring at least 107 points in each of those contests.
Boston has tallied at least 110 points in 2 of its last 4 games, so while it has trended toward the Under, it also has capable playmakers.
Take OVER 225.5 (-110).
