NBA Thursday

Chicago Bulls at Boston Celtics.

The Bulls crushed Pistons at home 1/11 120-87 easily covering -5.5 and this was step up game after SU win & -8.5 cover over Minnesota, again at home, but 2 losses away also covered getting 4 points at Milwaukee and 6.5 points at Charlotte. Making the ATS 4 wins in a row, 8-1 ATS last 9 and Chicago Bulls stock are suddenly hot item.

Boston last faced Chicago 12/12 106-80 Celtics win & cover -9.5 in United Center.
Celtics went wire to wire did not give up any quarter while holding the Bulls to under 33% shooting from the field and miserable 1 for 9 beyond the arc.

Despite the fact of embarrassing loss, recent surging Bulls play and K. Garnette & B. Wallace missing from line up. Bulls are poised to break their winning streak and lose ATS. They are very poor revenge team at 1-5, against Atlantic division teams 1-7 and coming off a peak game. This is also a spot to avenge a rare home loss Celtics suffered last home game. 1/11 Atlanta was a turn around blow losing 2 to the Hawks in 3 days. It must of left a bad taste for the C's because they went to NJ and killed the Nets.

Boston are not a good home cover team 11-5 SU has only covered 6-10 and they are alternating high score win than a loss however Chicago upside is limited where as Boston is under estimated at home. Take Boston give the points.

BOSTON CELTICS -6.5
