The Celtics, seeded third in the conference with a 22-12 record, enter the matchup off a three-game winning streak. The Bulls, on the other hand, seeded ninth off a 17-18 record, are coming off a loss.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The Celtics are -11 home favorites with moneyline around Boston -500 and total near 234.5 points. These NBA odds tonight favor the home team heavily. We have got our Best Bet, a same-game parlay, and some favorite player props for tonight&rsquo;s matchup.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Here&rsquo;s how we are betting Celtics vs Bulls tonight.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Bet for Boston Celtics vs Chicago Bulls&nbsp;<\/h2><p>Best Bet: Celtics -11 (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-108<\/a>)&nbsp;<\/p><p>Book: Best price at FanDuel&nbsp;<\/p><p>Our best bet for Celtics vs Bulls is Celtics -11 (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-108<\/a>) against the spread.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The Boston Celtics, who have had a tough start to their campaign, rank 13th in scoring, just a position below their Monday rivals. However, they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/stats\/teams\/opponent?dir=A&amp;sort=OPP_PTS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>rank second in terms of points allowed<\/a>, while maintaining the second-best offensive rating and a mid-rack defensive rating. Chicago, on the other hand, is scoring decently, but allows 121.8 points to their rivals. They have also been struggling on the road against top teams.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The spread at -11 feels right for the Celtics&rsquo; defense as well as home edge. They generally cover with heavy margins.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Considering the Celtics&rsquo; form, home-court advantage as well as the Bulls&rsquo; road struggles, we are laying 11 points, and expect the hosts to cover the number tonight.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Same-Game Parlay for Boston Celtics vs Chicago Bulls&nbsp;<\/h2><p><strong>3-Leg SGP (Safer)<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Leg 1: Boston Celtics -9.5 alternate spread&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leg 2: Jaylen Brown Over 30.5 points&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leg 3: Payton Pritchard Over 4.5 rebounds&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>Combined odds: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>+527<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>We are building this same-game parlay around the Celtics winning big at home.
