The Chicago Bulls, who have lost three out of their last four games, will be going on the road on Friday afternoon to face the Boston Celtics. Earlier this season, the Celtics beat the Bulls 106-101 in Chicago.
On Tuesday night, the Bulls had to play catchup very early in their game against the Denver Nuggets and came up just short in what ended up being a 114-109 road loss. They did not shoot very well in that game, making just 42.7 percent of their shots.
The Bulls have played well on the defensive end of the court this season, holding opponents to just 99 points per game. Shooting guard Jimmy Butler has been the Bulls' best player through 15 games by averaging 21.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game.
The Celtics have now lost five out of their last six games after losing 94-88 to the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. They only had eight turnovers in the losing effort, but they also were only able to make five of their 23 three-point attempts.
Through 12 games, the Celtics are the top assist team in the league, but they are one of the worst defenses by giving up 107.2 points per game. Power forward Jared Sullinger has continued to improve this season by averaging 16 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.
