This is an awesome bet for tonight. The Chicago Bulls host the Boston Celtics, and the Celtics are only 7.5 points favorites. Awesome!

Bulls are currently 11th in the Eastern Conference, 5 games behind the Hawks, and it seems they have lost any realistic chances of making it there, as the Hawks's schedule will permit them to get 4 wins in the last games for sure. The Bulls have lost 3 of their last 5, including 2 important playoff duels against Pacers and Hawks, that permanently denied them access to the next phase. Morale is down, despite the last win against the Bucks which was by 3 points. They know that tonight they cannot win and their faith is sealed. Without Gooden, they cannot stand a chance against the Celtics, as they will most likely be out-rebounded severely, not mentioning the Celtics' latest scoring hunger.

Boston Celtics lead the Eastern Conference by 6 games and they will win this Conference 100%. The teams is going great having won 3 in a row after some disappointing defeats in NO or Philadelphia. The last match was at home against the injury-trashed Heat, and they took that match easy: at one point in the first Q they were leading 24-4, and after about 20 minutes, they played with their bench, and won finally with 88-62. Tonight they will travel to a team that they have defeated 3 times this season, each time by DD:

08.03.2008 NBA Celtics - Chic. Bulls 116:93

22.12.2007 NBA Celtics - Chic. Bulls 107:82

09.12.2007 NBA Chic. Bulls - Celtics 81:92

- in the first game, the Celtics shot 51% in comparison to Bulls' 33%, and out-rebounded them 45-37, but due to 10 more turnovers, the Celtics only won by 11 points

- in the second game, the Celtics shot 44% in comparison to Bulls' 35%, and out-rebounded them 46-40, winning by 25 points

- in the last game, the Celtics shot 25% in comparison to Bulls' 32%, and out-rebounded them 55-35, winning by 23 points.

Tonight, i believe the Celtics can win by DD easy. They are well rested as in the Heat game the starters played under 25 minutes each. Everytime they've met this season, Celtics' defense annihilated Deng and Gordon, so the Bulls did not stand a chance. Now Gooden will be missing, and they will feel it in the rebounds sector for sure. Adding their low morale after their playoff chances practically vanished, i would say the 7.5 points line on the Celtics is a must-take. Good luck.
