Bulls Look to Force Game 7 at Home Against Celtics
Bulls Have Dropped 3 in a Row
The Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls meet in Game 3 of their NBA Playoff Series on Friday when they meet at United Center. The Celtics have stormed back to win three straight games. The Celtics look to keep the momentum tonight when they battle the Bulls.
Oddsmakers opened the Celtics and Bulls as a Pick, while the game’s total opened at 204. The line now sits at Boston as 3-point favorites. The total is at 203.
Chicago was a 108-97 loser in its last match on the road against the Celtics in Game 5. They failed to cover the +7.5-point spread as underdogs, while the total score of 205 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window. Chicago has been rudderless since losing veteran point guard Rajon Rondo. He fractured his thumb in Game 2. That was the last time the Bulls won. Rondo won’t play in Game 6 either. There had been speculation that he could be back at some point soon.
Boston surged to victory Wednesday. They ended the game on a 20-4 run. The run happened even with its leading scorer, guard Isaiah Thomas, shooting 6-for-17 from the field and 1-of-10 from 3-point range.
