The Boston Celtics will play host to the Chicago Bulls at TD Garden this Wednesday (Feb. 11) in what will be the first game for both former Bulls big man Nikola Vucevic and Celtics guard alum Anfernee Simons where each faces their former ball club on the court this season. In it, the Celtics will be looking to get back in the win column after seeing one of their longest streaks of the season snapped by the New York Knicks.
The Bulls will be looking to snap a streak as well, having not won a contest since the month of January. We expect a Boston win, but one can never play down to teams in the NBA, either.
Records, standing, and streaks
At present, the Celtics have a 34-19 record, which has them third in the Eastern Conference standings.
The Bulls are the owners of a 24-29 record and a four-game losing streak, good enough for 11th place in the East.
What happened in the last game for each team?
Boston lost to the New York Knicks 111-89 at home.
Chicago lost to the Denver Nuggets 136-120, also at home.
