CHICAGO BULLS vs BOSTON CELTICS 

  

The Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics will be fighting for redemption at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts after their losses. Want to know who we think will take the game home? Here are our thoughts for the Bulls-Celtics game this November 2, 2021 7:30 AM Philippine Standard Time.  

  

Following the Bulls’ first loss this season, we can imagine the pain and frustration especially with just a narrow 1-point difference to the Knicks. New York outshot Chicago, 53.5% and 51.3% from the floor respectively, in the jam-packed first 24 minutes. Sharing a similar disappointment, Boston lost to Washington in a 115-112 game. In the double overtime game of the Wizards and Celtics, Celtics failed to tie the game when they had an opportunity from Caldwell-Pop’s bad inbound pass. Now, both teams have a drive and motivation to bury their losses as soon as possible, which is why we can see the game being heated and exciting.  

  

If we take a look at the numbers, the Bulls and Celtics have similar averages. In terms of points, rebounds, assists, blocks, turnovers, and points in the paint, the Celtics averages higher. In terms of steals, FG%, 3P%, FT%, 2nd chance points, and fastbreak points; however, the Bulls takes the cake. As for leading players, in point averages, Jayson Tatum has an edge over Zach LaVine. For assists, Celtics' Dennis Schroder also scores higher than Zach LaVine. In blocking, Celtic’s Robert Williams III has Bulls’ Lonzo Ball outdone. Lastly for rebounds, Bulls’ Nikola Vucevic scores almost two points higher than Jayson Tatum.  

  

Our bet? The Reds versus Greens will be a close game with a 48.2% and 51.8% prediction. Unfortunately for the Bulls, this prediction ultimately favors the Celtics in taking the win. Let’s find out if the Celtics will truly prevail at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, November 2, 2021 7:30 AM PST.
